Hi John

The lengthy documents were scanned and Emailed to me, so this is clearly what 
has happened. Am I right in saying nothing can be done at my end and that I 
have to get them made accessible at the other end?

  Hi Barbara, are you sure it's not an image? I've had pdf documents sent to me 
which have been scanned as images. Acrobat just says Empty Page because there 
isn't any text there, just a photograph of text.

    I know this has been covered before, but can't remember if there was a 
solution. I'm trying to read a PDF document but all I get is the message 
"Alert, empty page". Printing this file out and scanning it isn't an option as 
it is 130 pages long and I have several others to read. So how can I read the 
text?

    I'm using Windows XP and JAWS 11.

    Many thanks.
