Hi, I have a word document file that I would like to convert into PDF format. I have ADOBE 7 and it is also updated. How can convert my word document in to a PDF format?

That is often because (1) the authors didn't turn on the make accessible settings from the outset; and (2) someone just took a WORD file and scanned it and saved it as a pdf file. The only recourse you have is to get an OCR program that will scan the image back into text. It isn't always reliable or accurate, but you can do it. If you have a scanner, the scanning software usually has an OCR engine and a wizard that will take you through the OCR process. There are also many stand alone OCR programs from ScanSoft, Readiris, others. Just hook up to the web and put those names in the search box. Many are free, and updates aren't too expensive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marc Rocheleau To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, 08 January, 2006 18 54 Subject: Ignorant about jfw and Acrobat Hey everyone, I use jaws 6.0 and I am unsure of how to get .pdf files to read in Adobe Acrobat using jaws. It's never worked for me before, although I am sure I have heard of others using it with jaws successfully. I have never tried actively getting it to work, as I have never really needed acrobat, but in a class this upcoming semester, I was told by the teacher to famliarize myself with the program and .pdf files. I am totally ignorant on this subject so could anyone help me to get Acrobat to be read with jaws?
