There is a setting you can change within Adobe itself to make is show you
the entire document. I don't remember it off the top of my head, but I can
track it down. Anyone else know the answer?

Londa, thank you.
This does work, but Control-A only selects a page at a time. For a long
book, this could be time-consuming. Any thoughts on selecting the entire
document?
Thanks.

Hi Laura,
The easiest way to do this would be to open the file with JAWS running.
Press control-A for select all. Copy to the clipboard. Then open a file in
notepad, Word, etc., and paste. You should get exactly what's in the
virtual viewer. This will work with JAWS 7 or 8 or earlier. If you're
using JAWS 9, there is one more step you need to do. Let me know if that's
the case.

Good Morning,
I'd like to save a PDF file to text, but I want to save it the way JAWS
sees it when I choose to open the file and read it "in the order of the raw
print stream." Is there a way to do this? Even when I have the file open
like that, when I choose to save to text, I get the standard reading order,
which is incorrect, and presents the text in a seriously garbled fashion.
Thanks.
