[orca-list] Fwd: Re: acroread plugins on ubuntu 10.04

[Edu Camargo <edumusico gmail com>]

Well, with a few pdf documents I have backed up I've made some tests,

and found that evince does a great job. I've tested two or three
documents and with evince I was able to select text from these documents
and transfer to gedit for reading and, for storing as text in case I get
interested in the content. I'd be happier if there's a plugin for
OpenOffice Writter to interpret correctly such  documents, the same way
you are able to export documents to PDF in writter.

Actually I would prefer to use evince to view documents but since Orca
can't access text from PDFs with evince, nevermind.

Regards,

Edu.
