Hi George,
I found that many .pdf files had to be converted to either html or txt to
make it readable. Sometimes I use Open Book Unbound to access it, other
times I use the converter that came with the acrobat 5.0 program but most of
the time I send the files to either pdf2txt@xxxxxxxxx or
pdf2txt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This latter works best especially if you are
obtaining a schedule of classes to be held on college campus. It contains
many columns and the last method is what I use to convert those files. I
believe it is sometimes difficult to get accessible .pdf in whatever way it
was created.
I hope this may help someday.
