Re: pdf documents

Fine, but that doesn't help us non-programmers like me.  I admit that I 
haven't looked at the source but I wouldn't know what I'm looking at 
anyway.  I took a brief look but it meant nothing to me.  Again, I'm not 
trying to pirate or anything else, I just want equal access to pdf 
documents without using an OCR package.  The OCR package I used in the 
past created errors that weren't in the original document.
