This is only present if the PDF was not scanned in, but was created by a
software package directly (equivalent to "save as pdf").  Not all pdf
files are created this way, so they cannot be saved as text, they can
only be ocr'ed.

        Look under the File menu for a Save To Text option.

        I experienced this problem too.
         
        Somehow I then managed to save the document in "my documents"
and then convert it into a .txt document which Jaws reads easily.

                My problem is I cannot get JAWS 9 to read PDF files.
I've had a sighted user view my screen & they say the text is on the
screen but all my computer speaks to me is Spaces & occasionally a
numeric #.  Is there some setting in JAWS or Adobe I need to set or
change?
                 
                Thanks, by the way I use Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Reader.
