Does this apply on the mac as well? Not talking about image Pdfs because
as we all know these are not accessible unless sent to some Ocr package.
I'm talking about editing Pdfs in general. I've not found one screen
reader compatible program for Windows at least for the editing portion.
Sure I can use the program but it's minimally functional. Take Nitro Pdf
for example. I've heard good things about Pdf Pen is this the standard
editor of choice for you?

That's generally true with screen-readers. I have a sighted friend who uses
Adobe acrobat to edit pdf files, but editing pdf with screen-readers has always
been minimal in my experience. Even reading them is somewhat problematic.

I've always thought of PDF as a consumption format rather than an editable
document. Sort of like an mp3. You create an audio file in something with
multiple tracks that you edit and such and when you're done you export to an
mp3. Likewise you edit your document in Pages or the like and when you're done
you can export to PDF. Once exported it's really hard to make any additional
changes.

Yes that's correct. However, oddly enough, pages cannot open PDF files, only
export to them.

Well I see you're right. You can only export files to word, PDF, epub, Pages
09, and text.
I do know that textedit can do RTF.

Weird, there was one format I know it said it couldn't support and I'm pretty
sure it was RTF. Maybe I was wrong.

Textedit will support RTF and so will pages. With pages you just can't write in
RTF.

The one thing I don't like about it is that it does not support Rich text
format files, this may seem a little picky but I think that a word processor
such as pages should at least be able to support what I think is a pretty basic
file format.

Hi all. I have pages now, and I do like it. I kinda wish VO would announce a
heading as a heading and not just as bold 18 pt, unless, that's all a heading
is.

Hi Scott and all
All I can say is I really like both TextEdit and Pages on my Macbook Pro 2012
model. Numbers for the mac I plan to get in the near future as well as Keynote
which is Apple's answer to Microsoft PowerPoint. I've heard great things though
about the latest Numbers and Keynote all of which sound promising.

Hi Everyone,
OK, so far, so good. It sounds like OSX is about as stable as IOS, which is
what I had hoped.
My next question regarding the Mac involves productivity. How well does
VoiceOver do with word processing and spreadsheets?
It is my understanding that Text Edit is very accessible. Is this correct?
What about Pages? Spell check is very cumbersome on IOS if you are working
with a large document. I assume that spell check is better on the Mac. Is
it?
I am also very interested in Numbers. I do a lot of work with spreadsheets.
Numbers for IOS is better than it used to be but, in terms of using it with
VoiceOver, it's still rather cumbersome and not all that great if you have
much work to do. Is Numbers for the Mac better?
Thanks,
Scott Duck
