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

You would need to run it through some kind of OCR software. OmniPage will do
this, but of course you are subject to the usual warnings about OCR text:
depends on how clear the images are, font used (more properly "typeface")
etc.  

If it isn't government secrets or the like, I could give it a shot if you
like.

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!
