If you have OpenBook, have you tried using the Freedom Printer?

Hi Ryan,

I posted your question to a couple of other lists' & below are the replies I
received:

From: Flor Lynch
Hi Mike,

Can the file be saved as text (from Adobe Reader) and, if so, have you tried
it; and what were the results like?
Flor

From: Axel Krueger
Can you use an OCR in a virtual print mode?  You can choose single  column
Axelbefore you save the file.

From: Drew Hunthausen
Ryan,
Is this a paper for a school, and do you have any DSS resources on campus
that could help you with this. I'm only asking because when I was in
college, I graduated last year, I had this same problem and had the DSS
staff help me out. I had a number of text resources that needed to be
translated so I could read them and I knew it would take hours and hours to
translate them myself. Just a suggestion.

Hi,

You might want to try FS Open Book 9 if you have a scanner.

From: Kevin Hourigan
Hi. Isn't the virtual cursor supposed to deal with that.

Hello listers,

I come across pdf text books that for some reason are created in two
columns.  Please help if you know how to get them into one column so jaws
will read them properly.  I am in the middle of writing a research paper and

need to read this pdf and reference it.  Thanks for any help you can
provide.

Sincerely, Ryan West
