I should have done that the first time. I didn't look closely enough to see
where the message came from and thought it was a private message.
If you have JAWS 9, you need to press Ins + V, press V again for virtual
cursor. Down arrow one time and you'll hear "select and copy..." Press the
spacebar until you hear "select and copy from virtual cursor." Press enter.
This will allow you to select and copy exactly what JAWS give you.

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.
