does Jaws say blank?  Or empty document?  If it truly is am image file you 
may be sunk without Openbook or Kurzweil.  I heard that there is some way to 
configure the Microsoft Image Writer printer in Office to try to open things 
up in Word, but I don't know how, and I don't think it does a very good job. 
There are programs like Omni page or PDF complete that don't cost too much 
and can run OCR through a virtual printer.  Maybe someone else with more 
knowledge can wade in on this one.

Subject: [real-eyes] Trouble reading a .PDF file.

I downloaded a 108-page .PDF file.  when I tried to access it, it was blank,
which tells me that it is an image.  The text is visible to a sighted
person; but of course, JAWS just says "blank."  Does anyone have any ideas
about how I can read this?  I have Adobe Acrobat. I have Text Cloner Pro on
a PC with Windows XP and JAWS 12.  I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks!
