One thing to try is, when in Adobe, do alt + F, and down arrow to save as..., and then right arrow into "text, and let it do its thing, you may need to select where it will go, by default, it saves in the same folder the file came from, or in "my documents". If that renders nothing in a TXT file, that is, the text file is blank, use Open Book or Kurzweil to open it, and it will automatically do OCR on it when it opens up. If you have one of those programs, use the applications key on it, and arrow to "open with" and if one of those programs is not in the list and one of them is installed on your computer, brows to it there and find it.

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!
