use QRead which is actually designed by a blind dev. it can handle a
whole array of formats including pdf, epub, docx, html, ... it isn't
free but worth every penny.

Hi all,
I've recently started a new job and am using Jaws 2018 on both a Windows 10
laptop and desktop.

I have previously been able to read PDF's ok or if necessary have used the
convenient OCR ability in Jaws to access image pdf's.  On both machines when
I open a PDF Jaws doesn't read any of the text even if I use the Jaws cursor
and it isn't given me the message I'm used to to ask if I'd like to run
convenient OCR.  Similarly if I save the file and then go to the
applications menu and choose the option to "recognise with Jaws" nothing
happens.

This is really frustrating and I could really do with being able to access
pdf's.

Any help / suggestions great fully appreciated.

With kind regards,

Sarah
