Hi, Adrian,
Can you explain how to use Kurzweil to make those pdf files that are still
unreadable even with adobe accessible?
If this is OT, please answer off list if you can. My address follows my
signature.
Thanks.

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?
