# Save as accessible text for a braille printer

Note: This document uses the term “braille printer” to refer to any device that is used to convert accessible text to a form that can be used by a person with blindness or low vision.

This feature isn’t available for UNIX.

You can save a PDF as accessible text to print on a braille printer. Accessible text can be imported and printed out as formatted grade 1 or 2 braille documents by using a braille translation application. See the documentation included with the braille translator for more information.

A text version of a PDF contains no images or multimedia objects, although the text version of an accessible PDF contains alternate text descriptions for such objects.

1. Choose File > Save As.
2. Choose Text (Accessible) from the Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS) menu.
