Katherine,
Adobe Acrobat Reader will tell you that a PDF document is empty if there is 
only graphics in the document. If the graphic image has text in it, it is 
unreadable by JAWS because the text is just part of the image. The solution 
is to use an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program, such as OpenBook, 
Abbey Fine Reader, ect. to convert the text in the image to screen-reader 
accessible text.
