If you have, or can upgrade to Kurzweil 1000, its latest two versions
does this conversion well, even from opening the pdf file with Kurzweil
via the applications menu from within windows explorer's list view.
Just note that it will use your default OCR settings, which may perhaps
not be applicable to the particular document, but you can change it,
using one of the other longer methods.
If you can supply Kurzweil Educational systems with proof of a validly
purchased version of openbook,
years ago my openbook serial number and specific version was sufficient
proof, you can upgrade and switch to Kurzweil for something like $150.
You'll never look back again, no pun intended.
Regards,
Riana

Let me remind list members that for those graphical PDF documents, you
can
easily e-mail them as an attachment to conv...@robobraille.org. You
will
get back a text attachment of the document in readable form. If you
send
to
that address and put doc in the subject line, the attached document
will
be
in word format. You can also unload the PdF to www.robobraille.org
and
have
it converted that way.

If the PDF file was scanned as an image rather than text I
don't see any way of getting around it other than what you
have done. I agree this can get very frustrating.

Hi all,
Sometimes I can press application key on PDF and I enter on
open with Adobe
x and the file reads fine. Other times it states empty
document or
something like that.
So my question is
Is there a formatting issue that could be implemented on PDF
file so that
when one opens it the PDF reads fine with Adobe4x reader?
I am on a web site and there is a PDF. When I open it
states empty doc.
I download it, scan with OpenBook and doc is mostly
readable. I would love
to instruct this web master to get PDF in accessible format
but haven't a
clue what to say.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Ann
