?You could use an OCR program to open PDF files. I usually use openbook instead
of using adobe reader. Noe thing though, Open book is expensive, so If you
don't have it it is not an option.

Subject: Alternatives to Adobe reader that are jaws friendly
Hello everyone.
So I really hate adobe reader. It's ridiculously huge when all I want to do is
read text, installs a speed launcher in memory that I don't want, and crashes
almost every time I close it. There are a number of other programmes out there
that sensible people use, like PDF XChange viewer, but I haven't heard much
from jaws users on this subject. This list is pretty much my only contact with
the screenreading community in general and I don't really have the time or
inclination to try a bunch of programmes until I find one that works. I know
adobe reader has special accessibility features and so abandoning their
horrible software might not be as easy for us as it is for sighted users. Any
thoughts? Thanks.
