Another option is to run it through some sort of OCR program that handles =
PDF files. One other option is to print the file then scan it with Open =
Book or K1000.
Not the perfect solution, but at least options.

Suzanne, anything they send you will most probably be a scanned =
document,=20
or, an image rather than actual text, which is why we can't read it.=20
Because what they send is pretty much that way, you will need to request=20=
that they send you actual text. It had to start out as a printed file =
on=20
somebody's PC, so see what you can do about that.
