Would it be a reasonable accommodation for you to request one? I don't know
how important it is to your job functioning, but I think it might be worth
asking.

I do that at home. However, I don't have an OCR program on my computer here at
work. Got any more ideas?

Roberta and all, when I get a document that JAWS says is a blank document I go
into OpenBook, you can also use Kurzweil 1000, and open the document after
telling Openbook that you are opening a PDF document. It may not be in the
exact order but you will at least know what is in the document. Not the perfect
solution but at least a "back door" approach to the problem. Hope that this
helps.
Jim

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.
