Hi John
Yes it is the same when you convert from pdf to text.

Hi Mike,
OK Mike, hopefully Richard can convert for you if you wish
to take him up on his offer. I know what you mean about pdf
files being too closely spaced and JAWS reading it as one
line - what a pain and takes hours to sort out.
Cheers.
John.

John,
I usually use Kurzweil to convert Pdf's. It will work on
files up to about 3 Meg, but bigger files it will not
handle.
It is good at converting, and even text files, which are too
closely spaced, where JFW reads the line as one word, it
successfully converts into rich text.
Scanning is an option, but at that size, I don't know how
many pages long it must be.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
If the file has been scanned as an image, then I don't know
of anything that will actually convert it. JAWS 13 will read
the first page of a scanned image, but it cannot be saved
and converted and you would need to scan each page and read
it - quite a labour intensive process. The only option I can
think of is to print the pages and scan in as an accessible
document rather than an image.
Cheers.
John.

Subject: [access-uk] Pdf conversion
Hello,
I have a Pdf file, a book, and it is as an image scan, or
viewed as a blank document by JFW.
I need to convert it, but Kurzweil will not handle a
document of its size, 62000 Kb.
Any suggestions please?
Kindest,
Mike
