Optacon? The last one I had cost over $4000! It'll be a cold day in hell
before I could afford something like that. Yes, Optacons fill a unique
nich which just doesn't get filled with current technology.  Key here is
getting around copy-protection. I really fault Adobe systems on this
one.
Surely, there's gotta be a way to expose PDF text to the reader with or
with out a password The notion that the MSAA features for the Acrobat
reader are excluded from protected documents is totally stupid and Adobe
should have never come up with this infiror design flaw!!!
