  I

  assume that you are referring to PDF's containing an image rather than text. 
If you have v. 13 or 14 you can always try using the inbuilt JAWS OCR facility. 
To do this:

  1.  After opening the PDF press  Insert+spacebar and then O.Then O for OCR.

  2. Press s to scan screen.

  Morning folk, 

   

  Now for the old chestnut of reading PDFs with jaws. 

   

  Anyone know the up to date position of how we can read PDFs with jaws or 
similar? 

   

  What do we need to do or acquire to so do now a days?

   

  It can be very annoying not being able to so do specially for business. 

   

  One way I believe is to print them out and then scan them butt that's so time 
consuming. 

   

   

  TIA, 

   

      Tony Sweeney
