[Electronics-talk] Converting PDF Files in Kurzweil...

[Brett Winches]

Steve,

I have been told that the better choice for Kurzweil is to save the
document as a PDF and than open it from within Kurzweil.  This will give
you advantages to the virtual printer choice.  I have actually seen this
as well with scanning to PDF done here in house where the virtual
printer would not recognize anything but if I did the other approach
documents would come out fine.   


Merci!

If his documents contained scanned images, Adobe 9 and JFW 10 won't read
those particular documents.  Jacob, if you have to print the documents
because you can't get to a later version of Kurzweil which might
recognize the files, check to see if you have a "Virtual Printer" as one
of your choices.  I believe Kurzweil installs a virtual printer which
will save the printed output to a file that can then be recognized.
Besides being less work, this should be more accurate since you are
avoiding the analog processes of printing and then scanning.  If you
don't have a virtual printer, raise this issue on GUI-Talk as someone
there may have other ideas.  You might also want to ask Kurzweil
directly if they do not support that particular version to be sure that
there is not some other problem.
