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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Wilson To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 8:36 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Reading PDF documents 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.
