[Blindmath] Questions re InftyReader from a Novice

[Van Landeghem, Bert]

Hello,

If you have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard (so NOT the reader), it is very easy to extract pages from a document and hence generate different PDF files which all contain a piece of the original document (in the menu, choose document and then extract pages). 

Adobe Acrobat is not freeware though. Nevertheless, I believe that in the latest Windows versions, there is a standard PDF-printer included. Open your large PDF file, choose print, select the PDF printer, and specify the range of pages you want to print. You will then obtain a PDF file containing the pages you have specified in the print task. 

If there is no PDF printer available yet on your computer, you can  download one from the internet, e.g. PDF995. www.pdf995.com 


Cheers,
Bert

Hi, I can answer half of this.  For PDF you don't need to worry about 
the dpi or black/white settings.  Those are important for scanning 
paper.  I know that it's possible to split up PDF's but don't know how 
myself.  Or whether a sighted person has to do it.
