Lorie,
perhaps sending the file to  the robobraille free convert service will 
translate the file into a format you prefer.

their site is
www.robobraille.org
Where a list of file formats is provided.
The email is
conv...@robobraille.org
Where you place the desired format in the subject line.
hth,
Kare

There's a great online service I use called OnlineOCR 
(https://www.onlineocr.net). I don't do OCR enough to pay for software to do 
it, and this you can pay for a number of pages and just upload your document 
and download the result.
