I've been using QRead for quite a few months to be able to say with
confidence that it works well for me.
There are one or two bugs I have noticed that raise their ugly heads
under certain conditions. sometimes, and only sometimes, when you
open a document for the first time, QRead and/or Window-eyes freeze
momentarily, but then they are both back to normal. A little bit of
patience is my remedy for this.
Every time a document is opened in QRead, a file of the same name
with a dot qrd extension is created in the QRead folder. I don't
have enough details on the precise content of .qrd files, suffice to
say that they contain information on the user bookmarks plus the last
cursor position in the file.
The bug here is triggered when the number of .qrd files exceed a
certain count. QRead freezes which in turn freezes Window-Eyes.
There you are. I hope that's given you a better idea of life with QRead.
Sincerely Matthew

also, may I mention QRead which is a document reader that supports a
variety of formats including epub, PDF and the microsoft compiled html
(chm) formats. the program is designed by blind people, first foremost
for blind people. The registration process is a bit cumbersome but worth
the time and effort.
The other thing worth mentioning about QRead is that it is unicode
enabled. So, if your document contains those special unicode symbols,
they will be visible in QRead.
What I usually do with my PDFs is to open them in QRead, and then I copy
the text and save it in an ascii or rich text format document, unless
where the PDF also contains visual content of interest which to be
honest is very rare.

Hi Jed,
There's quite a bit to know about navigating PDFs, but some of the
highlights are that they are fairly easily navigable using Adobe
Reader X. You move to next and previous pages using Control-PageUp
and Control-PageDown, respectively. While on a page you read the text
as you would a web page, that is, using browse mode. Also, Adobe
Reader X has its own search function initiated using Control-Shift-F,
and, since this is also a Window-Eyes keystroke, you must press
Insert-B in order to pass it to Adobe Reader X.
hth,
