[NFBC-Info] Accessible property tax bill

[Brian Buhrow]

	hello David.  Even though you can extract the text of the PDF in your property tax bill
with Adobe Reader, have you tried running OCR over it to see if that preserves the columns in a
better way?  I've found that different  OCR processes do different jobs of formatting the text,
some better than others, and, between a combination of text extraction and OCR passes, I can
get most of what I need from the PDF documents.  I don't know the answer to the question about
whether you can call the county tax assessor's office and ask for and receive an accessible
version of the bill.
-thanks
