Hi Scansoft manufactures a good pdf to Word converter at www.scansoft.com I usually get better formatted results than using text files generated by Acrobat. I know that programmes like Kurzweil and Open Book can also do this, but the Scansoft PDF converter is a much cheaper route to follow.

It may distroy the formatting in the process though. If you are looking for *any* way to do this, I recommend ocr on the pdf even though it is or may be perfectly readable, the result of the ocr then can be dumped into word as it is processed and hopefully formatting retained. Once you have the document though, it will be interesting to see how dbt handles all that technical writing. I'd be happy to explore the issue if you send me a pdf that you want to braille. -- Johnnie Apple Seed ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 4:16 AM Subject: [duxuser] Re: brailling pdf files Hi Scott, You cannot unfortunately simply braille out a PDF. You will need to convert it to another format, such as plain text or HTML. You may be able to do this with Adobe Reader 7.
