[nfbcs] PDF

[Steve Jacobson]

Gary,

Did you set the reading order to "Infer Order from Document" or whatever it is?  One has to use that setting as I understand it to get tables presented.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

file (I didn't have to change anything in the Save As box) and opened it through Windows Explorer.  It opened it as a big table, but I couldn't figure out which column 
headers went with which columns.  I opened it with Kurzweil, and all the text was garbage :::::::::::::.... etc.
