Hello EASI people, I am personally a fan of the PDF Equalizer from Premier Programming. I have just recently had the pleasure of experiencing it and I have been able to read locked PDF files with all the accessibility features locked out. Since I have received books from publishers with accessibility features locked I am thrilled to see this product on the market. I'd also like to make a comment on the prices of their products. I'm not trying to sell and I'm not associated with the company. But their products are priced within a range for most everyone unlike other well-known companies. Their tech support has been superb and every time I have an issue or a question they will work to resolve the issue in a very timely manner. Plus they offer very good free software such as the free e-text reader. Great for student's who have no funding. Just my two cents.
