Has anyone actually used the RiverDocs Converter and what have you thought
of it?

The press release and the information on their website a bit lacking as to
exactly how they really are different from the other tools that currently
exists (you can edit a PDF for accessibility in Acrobat and export from PDF
to HTML).  I found their price estimate of creating accessible PDF versions
with other tools in excess of 50 pounds per page somewhat high.

The website URL is: http://www.riverdocs.com

I am planning to get my hands on a demo copy, I just have not had a chance
to look into the tool much.


Thanks,
Sean
