[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9311969, member: 6796661"] Not sure about Acrobat Reader, or the various non-Adobe PDF software, but if you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat, it is really simple to OCR and optimize for text-to-speech. Having to created the bookmarks yourself and create cross links is a much more tedious process. But Adobe Acrobat isn't cheap and the newer version with the complete GUI redesign and all its default trying to push you to Adobe's cloud storage can be really annoying. I do like Adobe's AI assistant. As I get better and writing prompts, I find it much easier to find info I want in large PDFs than keyword searches.
