Hi Claire
I think you will be able to do most of this by using the Omnipage OCR software. If you need a copy I will gladly send you one free of charge.

Best wishes

Andy (or anyone else): I am searching for software that will enable a VI student to convert PDF files to word and make the files usable e.g. avoiding the line breaks that occur if you cut and paste. What is the best option and how do I get hold of it please?

You can contact me at [log in to unmask]

With thanks,

Claire

Hi,

I may be able to help with PDF files,  you can change the flow layout.
If you send me a few examples(off list), I will test them, and send back instruction.

Also could also use a PDF2Word conversion programs which will strip the text to a word file, and you can modify to your own preferences.(does not work with all PDF files)

Hope this helps

Andy

I'm print impaired and my eyesight has improved to the point that I can read times new roman 14pt magnified 2x on a 37" gas plasma screen

which I think equates to 26pt Times New Roman when printed.

I can't however get pdf's and scanned books to magnify enough before they go off one side of the screen - the ideal would be to be able to

resize and repaginate them.

Has anyone come across this before and found a way to get around it?? 

There are usually three elements to deal with - the text, images and tables.

We thought of getting a printer to blow it up onto A2 or A1 but this would cost around £30 per page!!!! A3 printing isn't large enough.

Kind regards
Elaine
