Ahh, OK, what about curswale (or how ever you spell it XD)...
Will that work as well?
Thank you,

Openbook from Freedom Scientific will work on these, as well as those already
printed out on paper.
I've also seen others recommending Omnipage.
You are basically needing an optical character recognition application that can
process your image files as though you're sending them to a printer.

Thank you,
Are there any good programs that do the character recognition that are
accessible?
I get documents like this all the time either for school or work and I need
to know what they are saying in a matter of hours. I have to then drop
everything I'm doing and go find a sighted person who can read this document to
me, then type it out by hand as they read it to me.
It is very frustrating and sighted people can't tell the difference between
this PDF document and normal text PDFs.
Thank you,

Hello Dave,
Thanks for that info; I was aware of this but was trying to make the point -
badly - that calling a document a PDF file does not necessarily make it
accessible.

Glen,
PDF files are often created as each page being an image of something. This
usually happens when a PDF file is created from a scanner. So it's okay that
it's PDF.

Brandon,
This is nothing more than a series of pictures, one picture per page
which has been saved with a PDF file extension.
No idea why this one has been saved with a PDF file extension, but it's
still a picture and therefore should have a file extension of .jpg.
To make it accessible to a screen reader, you would need to use Optical
Character Recognition to turn it into text.
HTH.
