To be honest Clive, I just don't know, but if this is the only reason the
document wouldn't be visible to JFW, when other PDFs are, then probably the
explanation is as you humourously put it.
Thanks -

Hi Andy,
do you know whether the content is actually text, or if it is really the
scanned image of a printout of what started its life as text? This would
certainly give a result visible to the sighted reader and inaudible to a JAWS
(or other speech output) user.
Please excuse me if this is a read herring. I've seen that particular trick
turned before. It's not good practice, but sadly it happens more often than it
should.
Best,
Clive

Hi all -
Sometimes when I click on a PDF doc, the processing starts, but JAWS [9]
can't see anything. Using the JAWS cursor, I can read a line that says "1/2
29.4 percent find"
I understand that this means 29.4 percent of page 1, and there are 2 pages to
process, and that the "find" is to search the document, but can't figure out
how to make the document visible to JAWS. Sighted help tells me the document is
visible on screen, but trying to use the "find facility to search for a word
that is visible to the eye, reports no results. I also notice that hitting the
ALT key doesn't bring up the menu bar.
Any help please? -
Andy
