I really should check on the list of emacspeak-wizards commands more often, I usually find something new I've been doing a stupid way. Thus it was with emacspeak-wizards-pdf-open. I did, though, find I needed to switch between -layout and -raw depending on the supplied file. Attached is a trivial patch to add an option for this. Diff was generated against rev 4466. cheers Peter
