Re: [orca-list] Recommendation of PDF reader

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Unfortunately, I don't do much but look at pretty simple PDF's and just 
pick out the text. For example, just before I saw your question, I 
downloaded the PDF manual for my Cuisinart tea kettle and looked for 
their steeping chart. I just hit F7 to enable carret browsing mode and 
then I just down arrowed through the document. I was able to select the 
text I wanted, with the shift arrow keys, and then copy it into a text 
file. Sorry I'm not of more help.
