Pipeline Script: PEF to Text
Overview
This script converts a PEF 2008-1 document into text.
What is PEF?
The Portable Embosser Format (PEF) is a data format for representing
braille books, accurately and unambiguously. PEF can be used for braille
embossing and archiving anywhere in the world, no matter where nor how it was
produced. PEF is a digital braille hardcopy - the PDF of braille books, if
you will.
For more information, see Introduction to
PEF.
Input Requirements
