[NABS-L] pdf books

[Justin Williams]

Yeah, because it is in word, so I agree.  Find the chapter beginnings.

Hi Justin,

You make a good point, the page numbers do not always line up the same. In
fact they almost never do. It takes a little more work figuring out what
page in the converted document corresponds with the original, but I still
find it easier to navigate. If anyone knows of ways to convert the document
that would be better for keeping track of the original page numbers, I would
be interested.
  
All the best,
Ben

But, the page numbers are the same, though when you convert it over.
 I try to keep up with chapters, and parts of the chcapters.

I'm not sure how other's manage, but I convert the pdf to a .doc file
usually using kurzwell, though I am told that Jaws 17 or better can do it.
Then I can jump around the page numbers in the .doc file.

Out of curiosity, what is the strategy for navigating to a specific page
when you are on a windows-operating PC with JAWS 2018?

Thanks in advance.
