So long as focus is at the very start of the document.

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.
