Hi Ian
Thanks but this doesn't work. It simply pastes the image into Word but of
course JAWS still won't recognise it. I'll just have to go back to the sender
and get a Word copy.

I remember something like this coming up some time ago. Try going into the
document, doing JAWS+z to turn off the virtual cursor, selecting the whole
document and pasting it into an empty Word or Notepad file. There's no
guarantee but it might work.

I got this the other day when reading a claim form from Globespan..... say
no more.... it was actually done as a graphic pdf. If you go to the file menu
when you have opened up the pdf you'll find an option to save as a text file.
Not ideal but then you can either scan it or jaws should read it in notepad.
hth, Robin

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.
