Re: [orca-list] Orca and PDF in evince

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I didn't recall hearing anything about later versions of poppler
improving evince a11y but I remember that the -c option was added to
pdftohtml so the output could be forced into a single html file
instead of a file per page.  I believe Lena Schauer (probably
miss-spelled the name) from India added the option back in poppler
0.15.  What I wondered is if evince had to be used with OOo or if OOo
could use something else to open PDFs with - that's what I want to
know.
