Some pdf files will not read, you must scan them for ocr recognition first. For instance, in my law practice, when I file a pleading in federal court, I am required to create and submit a pdf file to the court. That is done by preparing a word document or word perfect document and printing it to a pdf file. You can read a file like that. Of course, you need the acrabat program to make such a file. However, if someone scans a file with an optical scanner in pdf format, it will show up blank, you must scan it in open book or whatever ocr system you have and then you can read it in an ark (if you have openebook) format. Hope this helps. The question I can not answer is whether the newest forms of pdf files will read in jaws if you don't have that updated system on your computer.
