PDF Pen products have been developed for several years and I know its pro version can be used to create PDF books more precisely than the built in tools. That being said, I read release notes of the new Firefox 88 saying they support PDF form completion. So, I would first download Firefox and se

Hi, My last contact with the developers said that it's accessibility on the iOS platform was behind its accessibility on the Mac. I haven't actually installed it yet though, so can't make any good comments on its true accessibility on iOS. You may wish to contact them, they are quite quick at

Ok, I don’t remember if I ever said, but if you use the program just to lead pdf files, I found reading page by page works fine. I’ve only done that short files, so I don’t know what would happen if you read a longer one and didn’t convert to something. Gigi > On Jun 3, 2015, at 3:37 PM, sad

Yes, I like the export capability as well. In the demo you only get RTF and TXT export. Also a smile logo will be embeded at the end of every page whenever you save or print. Otherwise it's fully functional so you are welcome to try it for as long as you like then purchase a license when you're

I agree, even though we can’t do everything that software is able to do. Maybe that will change some time, who knows. But it is faster than using Windows with JAWS, at least it was when I was using Windows. The OCR feature is instantaneous, practically. Also, with the Pro version, you can create

Actually, I like PDF Pen pro for OC images, not only because it’s fast, but also because I think it’s easier for this purpose than Fine Reader. Just my opinion on that one. However, Fine Reader does some things PDF Pen Pro doesn’t, like scanning. So, I guess it depends on what one needs there.

The answer is no. PDFPen and PDF Pro are as yet not good applications for reading PDFs. Their main function at this point is for filling in interactive PDF forms. They do not allow you to navigate by heading, list, paragraph etcetera. They do not even allow you to navigate by line. The only way

Hi there Are you talking about those files that are made accessible, like those tax files that IRS does? I think so because when I was using JAWS it said something about tagging. If that's what you talking about, the answer is yes. I did a 1040 form this past tax year, and I believe that thing

Good thinking. We'd have better spacial awareness on the iPhone/iPad. The iPad would probably be even better as there's more screen real estate. If we did OCR, we could work out the proximity of the form field and the prompt text, presuming Smile got PDFPen to work as nicely as iBooks and Kindle

Yeah, it would be awesome if they could figure it out, but I think it will be difficult and perhaps a while off. In the meantime I think the more pressing issue is for them to get other form fields such as checkboxes and pop up menus working in forms which have been built with accessibility in m

Hi Nic No, you understood quite well. I discovered the same things, so it's not perfect yet. However, when I get some time, I might see if there is a way to read line by line and therefore figure out most of the positions. I am sure they will work on this some more and make it better. It's bett

Hi Gigi, I've tried doing this before. PDFPen Pro did a pretty good job inserting the form fields, but someone with vision told me that some of the fields to type the answers were in the wrong spots/not aligned properly. They were able to click and drag and stuff to fix it up a bit, but this wo
