Well, there's far more detail than has been spelled out here at: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Adobe/Gallery/ As it happens, all that's needed is to flip one bit in the PDF file. But, check the above for the details. As for the DMCA, let them arrest and try me, if that's some prosecutor's want. I feel quite justified posting on this subject, because the law is wrong, not only from a moral point of view, but also from the legal. It conflicts with long standing legal precedents in the U.S. In the 1976 rewrite of the U.S. Copyright Law, the U.S. House of Representatives explicitly provided, in its report explaining the law, that blind people, or persons working on their behalf, had the right to make content accessible regardless. This very House language was quoted in the majority Supreme Court decision in the famous case which decided that people have the right to video tape television shows. Yes, they tried to stop VCRs, too. L. C. Robinson writes: > From: "L. C.
