When you use Adobe, you are just bringing up whatever is in the PDF file.
Often, the PDF document isn't really text at all, but rather, is a photograph
of the text. So, JAWS thinks the document is empty. Technically, it is devoid
of text and, therefore, is empty.
Sighted users, however, will see text on the screen. Sometimes even sighted
users need to look closely to determine whether it is a real PDF document or
merely a picture of a document saved in or converted to (often scanned into)
PDF format.
You need an OCR package to convert the picture into text. Your Kurzweil
product is that. It knows there is a picture and either starts the OCR process
or waits for you to start it.

Folks,
Why is it that sometimes I get "Empty Document" when attempting to open a PDF
document with Adobe Reader X but it opens fine with Kurzweil 1000?
Using: Windows 7/64 bit and JAWS 12
Thanks.
