Hi John
They've sent me PDFs before and they were fine, guess scanned differently. This
is the first time I've not been able to read them. Yes, I will request they do
it differently in future.

Hi Barbara, you can't do anything. They'd need to scan with OCR. Maybe a word
in the right ear as well to make sure they send documents in readable format in
the future.
Best Of Luck,
John.

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.
