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'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.
