That is correct - Read & Write 6 has an option to read PDF files. It is very good, expect when it comes to tables and columns, however they have now released a free downloadable update (called PDFaloud - available on the TextHELP website under 'tech support') that apparently will read tables, columns ...etc.... One of my students has downloaded and used it very sucessfully.

Hi,
Thanks - it appears there may be a problem then, I have not seen Hal
read the relevant PDF files, but if Dolphin advertise it then it will
work - I have worked for them for a short time and know the testing
strategies involved and know how rigorous they are.
Andrew.
