I believe that Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional can convert untagged.pdf files into
text which then can be converted into Daisy format. Adobe Acrobat Professional
8 has its own OCR function so can rescan unrecognizable scanned images into
images that can be read by screen readers such as ZoomText and possibly JAWS.
The conversion is not perfect and volunteers need to make sure that the
scanning is accurate.

The reason why Jim always focuses on DAISY is because DAISY files can
be used as a source to create other formats such as Braille. Jim, by
no means, wants to minimize the use of other formats. But, a properly
formed DAISY file will prepare excellent other format files as well.
Hope this helps.
