RE: Off topic, pdf documents, WE 9? shshsh, maybe the owners won't know!
Just last month, I received an invoice from Fender instruments on pdf. I got stuck at the alert document being processed twice. On the second attempt, though, I decided to change the infer reading order setting in the combo box to, I think it was, top to bottom, left to right. When I pressed the Start button, things moved along quickly. I don't know why it hung up. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+fenderwal=sbcglobal@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Jo Taliaferro via Talk Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 9:10 AM To: talk@lists.window-eyes.com; talk@lists.window-eyes.com Subject: Off topic, pdf documents, WE 9? shshsh, maybe the owners won't know!

Jo, The Adobe Reader won't do anything with scanned PDF documents. If a document is accessible, you can save the document to text, but this won't work on scanned documents.

I don't wish to buy the Readit Air as it's very expensive and does multiple things I don't need. Yes, I can read pdfs on my iPhone but that doesn't always fit for me.

These are important questions that I seriously think they need to see and pay attention to, because it is a legitimate concern. Anymore, pdf is a popular document on the web, and I think Window-eyes 9 should support it to the best of its abilities, as much as Adobe and other creators of PDF documents will allow it to. From what I can tell, it depends largely on the way the document is created.

Re: Off topic, pdf documents, WE 9? shshsh, maybe the owners won't know!
I have Abby FineReader and I can right click on a pdf file choose to convert the file to a word document. FineReader is a little expensive if you don't need it for other things.$129 at Amazon. OmniPage OCR software is a lot cheaper and probably would do the same. - Original Message - From: Jo Taliaferro via Talk talk@lists.window-eyes.com To: fender...@sbcglobal.net; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' talk@lists.window-eyes.com Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 12:33 PM Subject: RE: Off topic, pdf documents, WE 9? shshsh,maybe the owners won't know! Hi all, I have been reading everything I could find on the Adobe website so I do understand that pdf documents can't be read if they're sent as scanned documents. I know that authors are not always conscious about making their documents accessible and using the WCAG guidelines. I am asking about my own settings and whether I have them set optimally for a blind user. Do I need Adobe Acrobat to convert to Word, etc.? I have the WE app. But I believe it's fairly old. I don't wish to buy the Readit Air as it's very expensive and does multiple things I don't need. Yes, I can read pdfs on my iPhone but that doesn't always fit for me. I appreciate all the wisdom here. I've been screaming at my church about their pdf newsletter but... (sigh)...someday!

RE: trying to decide if I should migrate to window-eyes 9 because I still have windows xp
Hello Veronica, You did make some serious Changes there! Going from XP to win 7, then from Word 2003 to 2010, and then Win eyes 9.0. I was forced to move to Word 2010 when it came out, due to my job, and I have hated it ever since. I still use it on my home systems, but, I am not nearly as good with Word 2010 as I was with the 2003 version. even now I can't seem to find where to change the silly Spacing between lines. Anyone know how to do this? At 09:35 AM 3/4/2015, you wrote: Honestly, if I had been smart, I would of stayed with XP and WE 8.4. that, in my opinion, was the best set up and I hardly had a problem.

Re: trying to decide if I should migrate to window-eyes 9 because I still have windows xp
Hello Ted, No matter what version of Windows I was running, I would wait for Win Eyes 9 to clear up some of the Bugs it suffers from. I have two systems with Win XP, and I am sticking with 8.4. I have another system with Win 7, and there too, at least for now, am sticking with 8.4. maybe 6 months from now, there night be a 9.1 or a 9.2, and I'll perhaps upgrade then. I do not have the money I once had, due to a cut back in my employment. So now, I don't have the money to experiment with New Software.

RE: trying to decide if I should migrate to window-eyes 9 because I still have windows xp
I would urge all users of office 2007 and later who don't like the ribbon to check out classic menus for office. This is a ribbon add on that gives you back your classic menu interface. While I have no problem with the ribbon I must confess that I don't understand the layout meaning why things were put where they were. With classic menu for office just press alt+q twice and you will get everything you need in a vertical menu. This app is not free how-ever. There is a free alternative but I don't remember the name of it at the moment, and I did not like it as well.
