Re: [orca-list] accessible pdf readers



The question was *not* about presentations. it is not even about things
I write.
It is about *reading* pdf's that are more complicated than few pages of
text that are intended to be read top to bottom.

If it weren’t for Emacs, a lot of my job would be much harder. I write
Markdown, Org-mode, all that, and Emacs, along with Emacspeak, allow me
to get stuff done. I also convert stuff using Markdown, even a Markdown
file to Powerpoint.

Also, if you don’t want to use Impress, what about Google Slides on
Firefox or Chrome?

True, but that doesn't mean Emacs, and the Emacspeak extension, don't
provide good tools for a blind person. I learn new tools all the time
to get my job done, and Emacs is such a tool.

orgmode has tools for presentations and they're not proprietary.

This has been a major concern all the time.

I have been a hard core open source user exclusively using OSS for
everything.

But now I am forced to reconsider having some proprietary tools
specially for presentation and pdf access.

Hello,
Are there any *really accessible* pdf readers on linux?
Note, I do not consider evince accessible enough. First, if you turn the
caret browsing on, you can leave the document with tab or f6, but of
course you can never ever return to it.
Second, I could not press pdf links using the enter key.
Third, although that is likely least fatal, it does not recognize
tables. Although to be honest sometimes when tables have many columns
and rows  it actually becomes fatal.
When it goes to converting to html or text, they often lose much of the
formatting, and for quick looking this way is not always appropriate.
Especially converting to text loses everything that allows quick navigation.
