Paul, the little I know about this I will tell you. I would suspect that the PDF was an image. Therefore jaws can not read it. I am possibly having to purchase the same software for my work also to deal with this problem. Its all to do with optacle character recognition or OCR. Now, others will be able to explain to you in more detail about this but just thought I would chime in here and say you are not alone. Now, that's my useless bit of information for this morning. Cheers, Nicky.
