[JAWSLite] Re: pdf on the net

Hello,
I'm real frustrated with PDF documents.
I seem to be getting more of them that can't be read by jaws.
I'm using jaws 10 with adobe 8 or 9 and all I get is graphic and a number
there is obviously no text is this because how the document was created?
I've even tried the PDF to txt converter with no success.
Can any one make any suggestions accept for asking people with sight to be
considerate?
Thanks.
