Hi. I tried a while back to download the evaluation version of a program
from that company. First it asked me for my email password. Then it claimed
that the download had started, but when I checked with JAWS, nothing had
been downloaded. The same thing happened when I attempted the download a
second time.

I have tried the pro version of this product and have some difficulty with
it. first, the natural voices that the manual says are in the program are
not there; second, I converted an encrypted file which promptly became blank
except for the copyright information, even though the original file was
readable in adobe 6. I have written to the distributor and he has promised
to get back to me on the problem with the file, while telling me that the
product does not ship with Natural Voices--I do not understand this claim.
But several weeks have passed without any word. (My ISP has had some
troubles in the last week so it's possible I missed some messages.) I
hesitated to mention these problems without hearing from him again, but now
that the subject has been raised i feel I ought to do so. i'm sure if the
problems are rectifiable Steve timmer will write to the list and tell us, as
i am now going to send him a copy of this email. It could be that the
technology of the PdF Magic program has already been blocked by the newest
version of adobe, but that's just a guess. If others have had either
similar or different experiences it might be a good idea to share them so we
can get a consensus.
