Hi Allan,

Since the release of Adobe Acrobat reader version 7, I have not had too many
problems with PDF accessibility. The main hurdle now comes when one has to
access protected PDF files.

Alan,

The following appeared in AFB's Access World publication, May 2006 Issue.

"A Free Utility for Accessing PDF Files

Jamal Mazrui of the Empowerment Zone makes available online a free program 
that converts single or several PDF files to plain text to facilitate easier
reading and navigating with screen readers. Download it from 
<www.empowermentzone.com/p2tsetup.exe>.
