JamminJerrymy mission right now. to somehow read an iunaccessible PDF file. I used to have kurzwiel a very long time ago, but I don't anymore, so lets see what I can do to read this. *starts the mission impossible theme song*.
Munchkinbear@JamminJerry shove it through paperback?
@munchkinbear I didn't think to try thatk,l but I don't know if paperback would do an OCR on it, as that is what was needed.
@JamminJerry I don't know either.
@munchkinbear well holy shit! it actually opened it just fine! I don't know if it did OCR on it, but it is readable in paperback. hey @shefoof that application could have been opened in paperback.
@JamminJerry @shefoof it's literally the first thing I try, if something like a browser isn't rendering a pdf properly, download, chuck into paperback. I literally use adobe as a *last* resort and only if it's a form that needs to be filled out, that is if, the pdf was a fillable pdf form anyhow. Actually now that I think about it, I think @mcourcel may have mentioned some free thing called fox pdf or something that actually might work in fillable PDF forms so you wouldn't need adobe.
@munchkinbear @JamminJerry @shefoof @mcourcel Thank you for this information. Where would I get the fox PDF reader?
I’m having to fill out Social Security forms. My Adobe does not see the fillable PDF, only if I wrender through a browser, but there aren’t proper labels for any of the edit boxes.

@janesuh5 @munchkinbear @shefoof @mcourcel I don't know where to get it, as Marton was the one that gave a link to it a while ago, and I downloaded it. smile.
@janesuh5 @munchkinbear @JamminJerry @shefoof @mcourcel Oh man, for something like that I would get help from Aira. Want to be extra sure that stuff is filled out correctly.
@technocounselor @janesuh5 @munchkinbear @JamminJerry @shefoof I leave for a few hours and everything goes crazy. Lol! Here is the link for the portable apps version. I did try it with a fillable PDF and it worked great: https://portableapps.com/downloading/?a=FoxitReaderPortable&s=s&p=&d=pa&n=Foxit%20Reader%20Portable&f=FoxitReaderPortable_2025.3.0.paf.exe
