Hello Sarai, I'm not sure if someone already answered your question, but I had a similar problem with school books this year. Ask the publisher if they can give you either PDF, text, or word documents. If they are using "Mac" files, this may mean a desktop publishing program like Framemaker, Adobe Pagemaker, or Quark express. Many of these desktop publishers can export to PDF documents, it's been fairly common for this pdf format to exist because many of my instructors can access those from the publisher's web sites. Obviously, the BrailleNote can't read PDF files. However, if you have a copy of Adobe Acrobat, or a copy of Kurzweil or Openbook, you can save these files to text format, word, or html depending on the software you have available. If you could give me the file extension that the publisher says they are using to save files, e.g. *.eps, which is an Adobe format I believe, perhaps I or others of us can give you some solutions to the problem you're experiencing.

Is there a way to convert the files to use on a P.C. and a Braille Note? Sarai D.
