Gerald,
I have both OB 8 and OB 9 installed. When I invoke the Freedom Import Printer
I'm presented with a little dialog that asks me which version of OB I want to
use for the recognition. Did you not get this dialog?
Note that the dialog has a nasty habit of not coming into focus, and likes to
hide behind any other window on the screen, so you may have to Alt-Tab several
times before you find it.
I've found that both OB 8 and OB 9 will work correctly with the Freedom Import
Printer and "blank" PDF files.
Another idea is for you to save the "blank" PDF document, but save it in an
older version of PDF, and then try just opening the document inside Openbook 9.
It will directly load and convert the file without ever using the FIP.

Subject: Converting PDF Document Revisited
Here we go again. I received an email attachment that contained a PDF
file, but when I tried to open it using Adobe Reader X, I got the dreaded empty
document message, which means that Adobe Reader was unable to convert it to
text. So I selected Freedom Import Printer from the Print menu to scan the
document with Open Book. I have both Open Book 7.0.2 and the demo version of
Open Book 9 installed on my computer. But when I selected OB 7.0.2 to scan the
document, I got an "unknown file type" error message when OB 7 attempted to
open the file. Is there any easy way to fix this problem without removing both
OB 7 and OB 9 and reinstalling OB 7? If not, is there any other way to convert
this document into a text format that is readable by JAWS? Someone mentioned
something called Image Writer, but I can't find it on my computer, so I assume
that it is either not available or not enabled. I am running JAWS 9 with XP
Pro. Thanks for any help.
Gerald
