The only way is to send the document to a virtual printer in an OCR package 
such as Kurzweil, Open Book or Omni Page with a view that the OCR package can 
re scan the image and produce 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". PrintinHello Barbra

  unfortunately i think your pdf documents are picture files and not ocr 
scanned documents, and i think there is no way to convert them to text.

  regards frankg 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.
