[blindLaw] ABYY FineReader Stability with Jaws?

[Rahul Bajaj]

Hi Laura,

I use ABBYY as an instrument to convert PDFS into  word documents all the time. however, I suspect that you are envisaging its use to read PDF  documents as such, as a substitute for adobe reader.  I have never done this yet. best,
