How does 16 do with the conversion of graphics or pictures in a pdf? I
have
been holding back from updating to 16 to let the bugs get worked out but
converting pdf's to word docs is a fairly useful tool especially if it
does
it as accurately as you say.

Yeah, using Win7 and J16 latest build. The pDF copied and pasted into
Word2010 readily. It is now a Word doc and reads as though it were
written
in Word2010. Truly I['m a little blown away for the quality. Perhaps
this
one conversion was a fluke. For now I'm hopeful.

No, I remember there were paragraph marks after every line. Of course,
that
was years ago, prior to AR 3.0. As for the image problem, that can be a
bear, depending upon the quality you have to work with. I have an old
Kenwood product manual that still looks strange, but is now useable,
thanks
to 16.

Ted, I'm not sure what you mean by it not being the most attractive
document
around. The PDF Copied and pasted into Word is surprisingly clean and
reads
with no errors. Or are you talking about an image being converted into
text. That is often a mess as you say.

Andre's way is an oldie but a goody. I used it back before AR was
accessible; but Bill is right, it won't do a thing for an image file.
Even
when it works, it's not the most attractive document around.

That's not going to work in this case, because all she is getting in the
document are graphics. She may need to convert the document with OCR
software such as OpenBook. she can also use the services of RoboBraille if
she can upload the document.
I'll include the link for her here.

Another possible way. I did this yesterday. Opened a 245 page PDF.
Then
I
selected all using control-A. Then copied and pasted directly into a
blank Word doc. Then saved the Word Doc under the book title name.
Now it opens in Word remarkably fast and reads very well. It might be
searchable.
Hope
this helps.
I use latest J16, Office and Word 2010 on my I5 Dell laptop.

If you have JAWS 16, have it convert the document for you. Press
insert-spacebar, then the letter o for optical character recognition,
then d for document, and let it run. When JAWS has finished, the
document is not only readable, but it can be copied and saved into
another form, such as Word or text.
good luck!

My office has a program that is supposed to convert pdf documents to
searchable text. The issue is that my sighted colleague said that
she could do a search of this one large document and find different
words in
it.
However JAWS just read "graphic" Graphic" and gave me some numbers of
the graphics. I'm wondering what is happening here, does anyone have
any
ideas?
Thanks!
