Hi: If it is an image file then the only way of doing this is with an OCR program like Open Book, Kurzwiel, Fine Reader or Omni Paige. If you have a scanner usually some sort of striped down OCR program will come with it that should do the trick.

Hi Mamta, I use a program called easy pdf to html converter and also easy pdf to word converter Note: these programs are not free and after some time you have to purchase them. here's the link for easy pdf to html converter: http://www.pdf-to-html-word.com/pdf2html.exe and the link for easy pdf to word converter: http://www.pdf-to-html-word.com/pdf2word.exe very accessible and jaws friendly. but, maybe some of the others can help you in getting a free pdf converter or if you have adobe acrobat, you could try opening the document and saving a copy as a text document. I hope that I could help you in some way.
