[NFB-Krafters-Korner] sweater

Sun Apr 11 14:00:34 UTC 2021

I opened the PDF.  I think I chose "infer reading order from document" when
it asked before opening.
Then I hit the alt key to bring up the file menu.  Arrow down until you get
to "Save as".  Hit enter, and one of the options should be "save as text".
Hit enter on that, and you have a text copy that's easy to read with a
screen reader or put into a braille notetaker.
Sometimes, PDF's have scanning-type errors, like kl instead of k1, but
they're easy to figure out.

So I just bought it. The PDF seems a bit challenging with a screen
reader. I converted it to word out of Adobe and it translated to a
language I do not speak. I used MS online translator to change the
docx file back to English, but it wasn't pretty.
I have now just copied and pasted from PDF to notepad and it might be
doable.
Tracy, how did you get the pattern into a screen readerr friendly format?
