Re: reading a PDF file

There are many possible ways, and I know of a few, but others may know more.  Before I discuss ways I know, such as Kurzweil, Openbook, and Fine Reader, I'll see what others say.  There may be much less expensive ways to do what you want.

Hi Gene,
I was able to open it in Voice dream reader on my iPhone and it read it there.  Unfortunately, there isn't really any way to import the text from there to another file.  So, I know that the text is there, I just can't get it to a format that I can manipulate and copy the info that I need.

Without knowing what you tried, no one knows if they are just sending information duplicating what you did. 
If programs like Kurzweil or Openbook or other such programs can't recognize the document, then I don't think there is anything you can do except the old fashoned expedient of hiring someone or getting a volunteer to record the image text in the file.

Subject: [TechTalk] reading a PDF file

Hi all,
For the most part I don't have problems with PDF files.  But when they are images and not OCR text I can not read them.  I got a book on the Keto life style and it is accompanied with a PDF and without that PDF it is pretty much useless.  I have tried a few things but haven't had any major success turning it in to a readable document.  Can anyone help me with this?  I would be very grateful.  Thanks in advance.
