Re: [orca-list] Orca and Acrobat Reader

Hi Petra,

I use to copy all the text in the pdf viewer and then paste it into gedit or 
OpenOffice writer.
A second way was posted a while ago with xpdf installed on your machine you 
can get in a terminal and type:
pfdtotext <filename>
The filename is of course the name of the pdf-file and the location of the 
file is the same folder you are in.
You will then find the same name of the pdf-file in this folder in text 
format.
Success.
Milton
