[JAWSLite] Re: help with .PDF doc

no rob, that's the problem, it is one of those where they wrote the manual, 
then used scan's to generate the .PDF file, which means its all images, not 
actual electronic text, that is why adobe and jaws is not giving you the 
text, there is no "text" just pictures of it.

how large is this thing? I have OCR software here.
