[nabs-l] Textbook Help

[Cumbiambera2005]

hello nabsters,
I am needing some help. This year, one of my "accessible" textbooks is
going to be in PDF format. Does anyone know of an accessible program
that I might be able to get a hold of that will convert this to a text
file, preferrably something that is not going to cost me? I am not
sure how well Adobe works with jaws, but from my past experience with
it, I haven't found it very helpful. Does anyone know how this might
work? Obviously I will need access to my textbook, so any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Ashley
