[nabs-l] PDF to Doc

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Heather,

Oh, so you need to put .doc in the subject line, not just DOC? 
Maybe that's why whenever I try it and just put DOC in the 
subject, it gives me back a TXT file, which I don't have a 
problem with, but I've just wondered why it shows up as a TXT not 
a DOC.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

Hello,
The service is called.  Robo braille.
To have a pdf file converted, do the following.
Send an email to:
convert at robobraille.org

In the subject put the format of the file you want the pdf file 
converted
into.  So, for example, if you want a Microsoft Word file, just 
put, .doc in
the subject.  There are a bunch of options that it will tonvert 
files into so
you may want to visit the site and read their documentation.

Then, attach the pdf file you want converted and send it to Robo 
braille.  It
will return in a few minutes converted.  The converted file will 
have a new
name which starts with the letters, rb.  So, when you save the 
new file you
need to rename it.

There is a limit on the size of files which it will convert so, 
if it sends
back a message that the file was too large to convert, you must 
break the
pdf file into smaller files.  So, for example, it won't scan a 
whole textbook
all at once.  However, if you had each chapter separately, it 
would probably
scan each one for you.

Hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Heather

Does anyone remember the name/email address of the service that
