I received these instructions recently from a librarian who was helping with
PDF documents.
(quote)"To test if a document is scanned and not possible to read using JAWS,
try the "find" option to search for a word that is definitely in the document.
If the "find" cannot locate the word, it is a scanned rather than a untagged
PDF file.
I open the document using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. Then I select Document,
then OCR Text Recognition, then I select Recognize Text Using OCR and I choose
All pages. The program runs through each page.
Hope this is useful."(end quote)
I do not know if Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 is useable with JAWS or not.
