Hi Donald,
Without seeing the file itself, it's almost impossible for
me to even second guess.
Personally, I'd start with Adobe Reader 7, and try doing a
"Save As" HTML, or even text.
Then I'd look at the results, and decide where to go from
there.
George.

Okay, George, I am among the chastisers. I have read
Jamal's article in its entirety and did find it
enlightening. But I still hate PDF with a passion because
it so often renders text incorrectly. As long as
accessibility is an add-on and not an integral component of
the program, it will never work satisfactorily.
Nevertheless, I now need to find the best way to import a
PDF file into Duxbury 10.4, retaining as much of the
formatting as possible. Are there some general guidelines
you might suggest to accomplish this. I have Window Eyes
5.5 as well as JFW 6.20 on my system, and I understand some
of the basics of DBT 10.4.
This PDF is a compact disk of a massage therapy textbook.
The permissions are okay, so I can read the text well using
Adobe's latest reader. There may, however, be illustrations
later in the book which I have not yet encountered.
Sincere thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Don Roberts
