Robo Braille is a free, web-based service that allows you to upload documents, specify the new format you want, then receive a converted file through email. It works very well for pinch situations and I use it a lot. Robobraille.org or convert at robobraille.org with the file attached are where you can access this service. Typically I've gotten my converted files in my inbox within 10 minutes or less.  I hope this is useful.
