Thanks Cy, but I am using Acrobat to open the PDF.  Not Word.  I do not
think Word can show PDF files.

Since no one else replied, I will call Freedom Scientific and see if they
have a suggestion.

Subject: Jaws shows garbage in PDF from bank

My bank offers a web site feature which allows me to download my statements
as pdf files.  When I open these files with Acrobat, Jaws only reads a lot
of odd sounding foreign characters.  If I print the pdf and perform OCR
scanning on the printouts, the text looks fine.  Does anyone have an idea
about what is causing this?

Many thanks,
Tom
