No. Usually you just pretend you're going to print the document, but you
select the virtual printer. In the case of Openbook it's called the Freedom
Import Printer. I don't have Kurzweil so don't know what their virtual printer
is called.
Once you hit enter on the print/ok button, your OCR software should open up
and your document text will appear after the recognition is completed.

I don't have Kurzweil. However, a friend recently figured it out. I'll
tell you what I recall, but see if a Kurzweil user replies soon with more
definitive information. My recollection is that after going into Kurzweil, she
brought up the virtual printer with control-p, and then pressed F5 to read.

Samara,
First, make sure you have the accessible version of the latest release of
Adobe Reader, which I think is now up to 9. If the PDF document is a text file,
this program will take you through the steps for making it accessible. From
your message, it sounds as though you're more or less up to date in this regard.
However, when Adobe goes through the conversion process and reports
something like, "Empty document," it suggests you have an image file. In that
case, you will need to perform OCR, optical character recognition, on it. If
you have a Kurzweil 1000 or similar reading device, it will be able to do this
task for you. Otherwise, you will need to obtain an OCR application such as
OmniPage or others that have been recommended on this and other lists.

Sounds like you need to run OCR on the document.
Maybe Open Book or Omnipage Pro.

Hi, I'm trying to download some forms from the America's Got Talent site,
and I know there are things written on the forms, because it'll say "processing
page 9 of whatever", but when it's done, stupid jaws just keeps saying "alert,
empty document." I know the damn thing isn't empty and I need these forms. Any
ideas?
