Re: [orca-list] PDF-files and Orca

My solution to PDF files is:
pdftotext -layout file.pdf
or if it's in columns:
pdftotext -raw file.pdf
then read it with less or in an editor.

pdfinfo file.pdf will tell me whether it's tagged; they almost always aren't.

What we need is a free as in freedom, implementation of tagged PDF that can be
integrated both into the desktop and into command line tools.

The most promising project heading in the right direction appears to be
http://www.gnupdf.org/ which aims to implement the entirety of the ISO PDF
standard, based in turn on PDF 1.7.

Xpdf doesn't implement tagged PDF.
