[NFBCS] Columns in PDF

[Curtis Chong]

Hello Tracy:

I am fairly certain that the PDF from the power company is not properly
tagged. This is a common failing which unfortunately plagues too many of us.
Try running convenient OCR against it. Sometimes that helps. Otherwise,
there is no really good alternative except to kick the proverbial butt of
the company (in a nice way, of course).

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Subject: [NFBCS] Columns in PDF

I have solar panels on my roof, and I get a quarterly statement from the
power company showing a lot about them.  It's a PDF with about 10 columns,
so many it's hard to keep track of what I'm looking at. I try to remember
all the headings, then sort of count over, but it's not a great method.

Is there a better way to figure out the heading for the column I'm looking
at?

I'm using Jaws and Adobe DC.

I think about getting other kinds of statements in PDF rather than paper,
but I find them much harder to understand.

Tracy
