Hi Hina, If you have XP you should have a virtual printer called
microsoft office document image writer. It comes with XP but I
believe installing is optional. If you have it installed you should
be able to see it in the list of printers. This has an OCR
capability. You can open your document in your pdf reader go to print
and select the microsoft office document image writer and print. Then
in the microsoft office document image writer under tools you can
select the OCR option. When the OCR is complete you can go to the
save as under the file menu and save it in a variety of formats,
microsoft word is a good option.
Regards
Tom Bisset

Subject: Converting PDF document-jaws and pdf
Hina, As you sent this message, I had the same problem trying to read
a PDF document I received from a company. The document was probably
not formatted properly or was created using an outdated version of
Adobe and so could not be converted so our screen reader can read the
text, which is there.
Solutions to this, are that you can try saving the document to your
hard drive, and if you have either Freedom Scientific OpenBook or
Kurzweil K1000 scanning/reading software, either of these programs
might open the item.
Also, if you have a PDF converting program such as PDF Converter, this
type of program might work.
I was able to open my troublesome PDF document using my PDF converter
program.

Hi,
Does anyone know why jaws says empty document for some pdf files?
Anyone with sight can see something on screen but jaws says empty
document. Any idea?
Thanks.
Hina.
