The problem is universal.
It's much easier to scan an image than do the right thing and employ the
accessibility features of Adobe into pdf files.
I am a Federal Government employee, and have threatened grieving the
practice of scanning images that then require OCR to read.
I am making headway, but it's painful. And frustrating.

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
