Hi

After the file being open as an image, how do I go about in order to print in 
TIF image file and access from the Print command of Adobe's PDF reader.  Step 
by step guide would be much appriciated.

  Hi Barbara,

  You don't aqctually print the file to a paper document, you print it to a TIF 
image file which you access from the Print command of Adobe's PDF reader. Its 
all electronic.

  Good luck and all the best,

  Neil

    Hi Neil

    I don't have any of the programs you mentioned in your first solution. The 
second one won't work either as I have about six documents to read all of which 
have an average of around 100 pages, so would take forever to print and scan. 
I'll go back to the sender and get them to send them as Word documents.

    Thanks a lot.

      Barbara,

      Yes this is definitely a PDF image file rather than text.
      If you have OpenBook or K1000, or a simlar product you can scan the PDF 
file. Assuming you have a sufficiently updated version this works a treat 
normally.
      If you don't have these programmes, you can usually get acceptable 
results by printing thePDF file to a TIF file then scanning that via MS 
Office's Image \scan application if you have that in your version of office.

      All the best,

      Neil

        Hi 

        I am using 9 as well, the latest version I think? I know what you are 
talking about and that was all done at set up. I think it's what John said, a 
document scanned as an image so JAWS won't recognise the text.

          Hi what version of adobi reader are you using?  I downloaded v9 and 
ran the settup.  When the installation was complete i then ran the programme 
which gave me a licence agreement after that there are a few options you can 
choose, one of which is use settings for screenreader, this was chosen  then 
tab and select next or alter options if you desire. Forgive me if this is not 
what you are asking but it is then screenreader usable.

            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.
