Re: [orca-list] any recommendations for an accessible pdf reader for orca?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Hi Hadi,
I just did a little test directly using the pdftohtml script on an old Ubuntu manual I had handy. 
The convertion was very fast as I remembered it to be, and links all worked as one would expect, so it would 
meet your needs, and is easier to use than 
evince in my opinion. I used lynx in a console to read a bit, but of course firefox or any other browser that 
is accessible could be used. 
There were some characters that were not handled correctly however, so a calibre conversion might be the 
ticket for a cleaner format translation. I am 
not very knowledgable about translating between char sets, so there may be a way around the problems I 
sometimes encounter using poppler and scripts 
like pdftohtml.
