[Athen] Requesting Assistance with PDF Document

[Gaeir Dietrich]

Not sure if this is helpful, but in the braille world, we use asterisks as
bullets, rather than the special symbols.

Helloooo ATHENians!

I hate admitting defeat, but we have one rather large PDF file that 
is posing some baffling issues. If anyone would be willing to help 
analyze, I would much appreciate it. (I'll buy beers at CSUN, if 
you'll be there!...) Please get in touch off list: burke at ucla.edu

The text is a 98-page e-book on a project to include PWDs in local & 
national volunteer activities, if that sparks anyone's interest. One 
of the problems I'm encountering is bullet symbols that get converted 
as "nmlkj", which is disturbing for screen reader users, to say the 
least. Apparently this is a unicode encoding issue, but I have no 
idea what to do about it.

Thanks much for any help,

Patrick
