The BP will not be able to read the image file, since .pdf is not a supported file format. Have you tried using the technique of sending the book directly from ?Acrobat to the Freedom Import Printer? OpenBook doesn't seem to be real happy with Acrobat version 7, but if you open the file in Acrobat and then "print" it to the Import Printer, this might work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Bowman-Jones" <mikebowmanjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 7:46 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: has any heard of this divice Greetings, all. We seem to have wandered off-topic relative to the BP, but since nobody has yanked our chain, so to speak, I will also jump in. My type of work more and more requires reading welfare casefiles and supporting documentation. Unfortunately, as Richard (I believe) mentioned, the process of scanning documents as picture images is becoming more and more popular with California's County Welfare Departments and, unfortunately, I have not found a way around this even with JAWs and Open Book and the Freedom Printer. I wonder, though, if the BP would be able to read the imaged document if I transferred it therein from my computer. Any thoughts from the BP gurus out there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Michael
