[NFBCS] pdf conversion tools

[Curtis Chong]

Hello Cricket:

If what you got in the PDF PowerPoint were images that could not be
deciphered, it is highly probable that the original PowerPoint would not
read any better as well. The only way to determine that is to ask for the
original PPTX file.

What did you get when you ran Convenient OCR against the PDF? Garbage? No
text? What?

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi folks,

I have a pdf file that was converted from a powerpoint, so everything
is reading with JAWS and VoiceOver as images since that's how slides
appear. I tried opening the file in Word.  I tried converting it back
to a powerpoint. I tried converting the file to a .txt. Also tried
JAWS OCR mode, and also OpenBook. None of that worked. Are there any
other tools that you find helpful and reliable? Thanks.

Best,
Cricket
