to do the OCR with Kurzweil you can print from the adobe reader choosing the
kesi virtual printer and it will perform the ocr and display the document in
kurzweil.

I don't have Kurzweil. However, a friend recently figured it out. I'll tell you
what I recall, but see if a Kurzweil user replies soon with more definitive
information. My recollection is that after going into Kurzweil, she brought up
the virtual printer with control-p, and then pressed F5 to read.

Samara,
First, make sure you have the accessible version of the latest release of Adobe
Reader, which I think is now up to 9. If the PDF document is a text file, this
program will take you through the steps for making it accessible. From your
message, it sounds as though you're more or less up to date in this regard.
However, when Adobe goes through the conversion process and reports something
like, "Empty document," it suggests you have an image file. In that case, you
will need to perform OCR, optical character recognition, on it. If you have a
Kurzweil 1000 or similar reading device, it will be able to do this task for
you. Otherwise, you will need to obtain an OCR application such as OmniPage or
others that have been recommended on this and other lists.

Sounds like you need to run OCR on the document.
Maybe Open Book or Omnipage Pro.

Hi, I'm trying to download some forms from the America's Got Talent site, and I
know there are things written on the forms, because it'll say "processing page
9 of whatever", but when it's done, stupid jaws just keeps saying "alert, empty
document." I know the damn thing isn't empty and I need these forms. Any ideas?
