Hi Marly, Yes, that's exactly what they do. Copy to clipboard and read (listen) to the doc. They even do this with the publisher files for textbooks with out any problems. If they choose they can convert the PDF files using the converter in OmniPage 12/13 in our computer lab. Depending on which file format meets their needs.

I was not aware that ReadPlease could open PDF files. Are your students perhaps copying text from the PDF files, and then using ReadPlease to read from the clipboard? Marlys
