Good luck with that. Maybe a lawyer is the thing to do. I have dealt with a publisher before who had me sign a form stating that I wouldn't reproduce their material and they literally emailed me, chapter by chapter, the entire book that I wanted. If there are only a few spots that are locked, you might try using OCR scanning to see how well it will read the info. It would be a bear to have to scan the entire PDF and OCR, at least in Windows environments, isn't always the most accurate of technologies. from Keith H.

However, what they aren't getting is I am trying to read a document on Linux, and Adobe for Linux doesn't work with speech. It is a case were I am going to have to call them back, and insist on talking to some high level official, and tell them the problem. Perhaps tell them if they don't cooperate with my accessible needs I may have to get a lawyer, and see if they are violating some accessability laws. After all they insist it is accessible, but only accessible to those with new Microsoft based technologies. ----- Original Message ----- From: BTBG < kheltsley at shell.core.com> To: < speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 3:52 PM Subject: Re: Problems with pdf files. > Would it be possible to contact the publisher of the PDF to get a password > to unlock the encryption?
