Rockbox PDF Manual

BruceHP:
Thanks everyone for your concern with my problem.  I sent a copy of the Rockbox PDF to the FoxIt people, hopefully they can also help.

Why do you need the PDF at all? We provide a HTML version of the manual (which is, except for some few visual details) completely identical to the PDF version. Of course it doesn't preserve the layout of the PDF, but that isn't needed for reading anyway.

I have no idea what this "text mode" you're talking about is. There is this so-called "tagged PDF" which adds additional information to be extracted by tools like screen readers. Unfortunately LaTeX can't produce tagged PDF files (maybe the situation changed, the last time I dealt with that was 2 years ago). One of the reasons for this is simply that LaTeX does typesetting, and typesetting isn't text.

Maybe you should explain why you want to use the PDF version of the manual. The HTML output was created exactly to overcome the limitations of the PDF format and to be more easily viewable without using additional tools (i.e. viewable in any browser). It took quite a bit of time (and got me quite some headache) to get the HTML output working properly.
