my 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*.
@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 @shefoof @mcourcel this is an application that does need filled out, however, I think they are willing to make an accomidation for her, but she needed to be able to read the damned thing. smile. I ran it threw Vision Assistant Pro; and that worked.
@JamminJerry @shefoof @mcourcel I'd have stuffed it in adobe and seen if it was a fillable PDF< because chrome, etc. won't eat forms like that, sadly. Even if they are fillable.
@munchkinbear @shefoof @mcourcel Foxit Reader Portable lets me read it, but I don't see how you can fill it in. maybe you don't? maybe you are suppose to print it out, and then fill it out that way? I don't know.
@JamminJerry @shefoof @mcourcel possibly. but someone else said phoxit can't fill forms. so shove it in adobe.
@munchkinbear @shefoof @mcourcel I thought marton said you can use it to fill out pdf forms?
@JamminJerry @munchkinbear @shefoof @mcourcel he did, I understood that was what got away from Adobe. Foxit has been able to read them for a while accessibly.
@techsinger @JamminJerry @shefoof @mcourcel well if he provides a linky I can pull it and find a PDF form to test.
