Hi Donna,
Speaking personally, rtf or txt will fair better.
That is likely because of the different flavors of word, and the goal of
robobraille to get items to the simplest format.
Hope that resonates,
Karen

Thanks Robert and Karen. Robobraille is an interesting suggestion that hadn’t
occurred to me. I own Duxbury, so I’ve never used it before. I just tried a
sample file. It wasn’t problem free, but I chose to convert it to Word. When
I opened it in Pages, Pages inserted text boxes, which made it hard to read.
But I’m wondering if I’ll get better results if I go with Txt or RTF. This
definitely warrants further explanation.
Again, thank you for the suggestion.
Cheers,
Donna

Donna,
Why not send the files to robobraille?
www.robobraille.org
via an email address,
conv...@robobraille.org
the pdf files can be converted to text in a matter of moments.
You also support a service providing this service in many formats and language
around the world...and its free.
Cheers,
Karen

Hi all,
While I’m in Italy, I’ll be taking language classes. I may have a need to
convert pdfs to text, and I’m hoping to do it on either my phone or my iPad.
Anyone have a recommendation for an app that will do this? I know ABBYY will,
but it seems kind of like overkill.
Cheers,
Donna
