Hi Eleanor,

JAWS should handle PDFs just fine, unless they are images.

All the best

Unfortunately not Husna but I think Jaws and Suupernova that I use are not 
making provision for the pdf files in their software.  Some people seem to 
find them OK and some hate them, the pdf files I mean.  Like I said though 
save as text and then at least you can read it no problem.  The thing is for

a sighted person a pdf file can look identical to a print book or a print 
document which can be very useful, hence these files can have graphics in 
them too.  Even if there are graphics and you save as text then the graphics

are cut out in your new text file.  Hope this helps.
