Hi Peter,
Apologies, it opens PDF's in adobe. As I say I used to get on quite well with
PDF's but since starting this new job and installing Jaws 2018 on a new laptop
and desktop it's not been working. I didn't choose anything specific when I
installed Jaws to make sure the Convenient OCR worked but then again I've never
had to do this before and have just ran the standard Jaws installer and all has
been good.
Many thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
I don't think you said which program or application launches when you open a
pdf file, if the document is text based, Adobe Reader should read it fairly
well, is it opening in MS Word for instance?
Peter.

Hi,
It's happening on all pdf documents which is weird as I used to be able to at
least read some of them.
Many thanks,
Sarah

Your problem can happen if the document hasn't been produced in PDF properly.
Does it happen on all PDF documents?

Subject: [jaws-uk] Issues reading PDF's / Convenient OCR
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
