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

Hi all PDF Pen Pro is awesome. I currently have the demo but plan to buy it in the future. One feature I like is the ability to automatically OCR PDF documents that are just images, usually done from a scanner. On 02/06/2015 20:08, Eugenia Firth wrote: Hi there I use Pages and Numbers all

Hi there I use Pages and Numbers all the time in my business. Also, I have a program I got called PDF Pen Pro for PDF files. You may or may not need it, but you might want to check it out. You might want it especially if you need to fill out pdf forms. I haven’t seen it myself, but there is

I’ll give the book a read and report back if further assistance is required. How about mobile solutions? It’s been a while since I’ve used the iWork mobile apps for any serious content creation. ( Because the uni I’m with embraces mobile computing I could probably get away with using an iPho

Hello Sadam, I’m not sure how much detail he goes into, as I’ve only skimmed through his book, but many people have found it useful. It’s also a lot cheaper for you than paying for lessons with me, but if it isn’t sufficient, I can fill in the gaps. I charge €30 per hour. Cheers, Anne > On

I’m afraid there are no other books for VoiceOver users that cover iWork. But that one does cover Pages, although he doesn’t seem to know some of the workarounds some of us have found. Cheers, Anne > On 2 Jun 2015, at 20:02, sadam ahmed wrote: > > Thanks Anne. > > Will reach out and make

Hello, iWork is very accessible and would work for the tasks you mention. The preview of MS Office, at least when it comes to Word, is a long way behind iWork. However, don’t expect Pages to be like Word. It does most of the same things, but in a different way. If you haven’t got it already, g
