I have had similar problems with converting pdf's and unfortunately I don't know if you can say they are inaccessable because they can usually be read fine with jfw and acrobat. This problem is similar to the trouble with web sites and again the answer you will hear on this list is that the pdf was made incorrectly, and the answer you will hear elsewhere is "what?! you don't use jfw?!". There may be a way to unwrap the interspersed lines with some programming trick, but I haven't tried it and that wouldn't be the ideal solution anyway. - -- Unix is a user friendly operating system.
