ok, let me ask the question another way, since I've got to read this document...how do I use OCR to read it? Thanks.

Your discription seems to suggest that the document is an image which will require OCR to decode.

Now when I try to read a pdf document, I get the message alert: empty document. What's going on? How can I fix this?
