I'm interested in knowing how to turn a text file
into daisy format too.
For now, what I do when I want to read a PDF on the
Victor Stream is to do what I normally do to make the pdf readable (i.e., save
it as a txt file or scan it with my OCR package). then I convert it to rtf, and
I use Word find and replace to clean up the formatting.
for example, I substitute page breaks (^m) with the
word "#page." If there is a hard return after each line, but indents or blank
lines between paragraphs, I replace the paragraph maarker with hard page breaks;
then I get rid of all the hard line breaks by putting ^p in the Find field and
hitting the delete key in the Replace field, and when I'm done with that, I
substitute my hard page breaks with two hard line breaks, and I substitute
"#page" with hard page breaks. This is all
tedious, etc., the first couple of times, but it doesn't take that
long.
Then I find chapter breaks by searching for the
word "chapter" or for the things in the table of contents, and I turn them into
headings in Word by highlighting the title text and pressing alt+ctrl+1 (for
heading level 1) to alt+ctrl+6 (for heading level 6).
When I'm done with all of that, I save the file as
html and copy it to the Stream.
