You could download a trial version of JAWS 13, but I haven't had good
results with the Convenient OCR feature anyway.  Is this Zamzar better than
and/or cheaper than whatever Adobe offers online?   I really need to get
this figured out, too, as the issue keeps coming up.

This web site and an Email address should do the trick:
 http://www.zamzar.com/

The converted file stays at a link for a day. Its free used without
registering, after registration the bottom price is $7 a month, I think (I
use it free without registering).  I've been using this to convert PDF to
txt and MSWord to PDF and it seems to work well.
