[stylist] Sight Sickness availability-converting pdf's

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Helene,
if you go to
www.access.adobe.com
you'll see some options to access pdf documents.  in fact, I recently used:
pdf2txt at adobe.com
sent the file there as a pdf attachment, and such text as it could 
get along with titles of graphics was in a nice attached text 
file.  quick too.
I know there you can get the adobe reader program which assists blind 
people to read pdf documents and I need to download and install a 
more current version, its also there.
on the webpage, the first address I gave you, there is also a place 
where you can enter a URL, web address that is, so it will translate 
to text a pdf on the web, too.
