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?

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'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.
