You would need an OCR program to recognize the PDF document. Both OpenBook and Kurzweil 1000 support PDF files, and you can even "print" to those programs so that it recognizes and displays the recognized text automatically. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: <katherineschulz6266@xxxxxxx> To: "jfw" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2009 2:00 PM Subject: Adobe Reader Saying Empty Document Hello, I received a PDF document from my doctor's office and when I opened it, was told it was an empty document and Jaws could not read it. I remember we had a discussion about this at one point but cannot recall what was said. Can someone tell me how I can read this document using Jaws? I am using XP Home and Jaws 9.
