If you have a newer version of MS Word, you can just open your PDFs with 
that. I know this works in Word 2016 and 2019. I think it also works in 
Word 2013 though I'm not sure. Just launch Word and open the PDF as if 
it were a Word document. Before the file loads, you get a dialog that 
says results may not be perfect or something to that effect. Press enter 
on OK, and let the file finish loading.


Obviously, as with any PDF, results depend on how the file was prepared. 
As we all know, some PDFs are all or mostly all images and graphics, 
even of text, so our screen readers can't really deal with them. Other 
PDFs are prepared in nonstandard ways, so again, partial or complete 
screen reader incompatibility ensues. In both of these types of cases, 
Word also has trouble and produces inferior results.
