Re: [orca-list] VINUX-SUPPORT: Options for working with pdf files

[Alonzo cuellar <mariachiac gmail com>]

Hello,

I'm not sure if you can currently do what you want on Linux with pdff 
files. Since pdf will be a part of my life if I attend school in a few 
months I have a windows machine. The last time I tried reading pdf files 
on Linux I was able to read the document fine. However, if the document 
had markups to navigate threw chapters the focus would not change.  I 
think a few others have reported this as well.  Whats important now 
though is that you can read pdf files with Orca in Linux.  This will 
probably be worked on at some point.

there are utilities to convert files to text, but then you lose the 
formatting off the document.

Alternatively you can read the document in Firefox.  How well this works 
I can not recall off hand.  I tried it a few times and I seem to 
remember that it would not keep my place in the window if I moved my 
focus to another application.
