I don't have OpenBook. However, that system has the capacity to convert
purely image documents to a text form that JAWS can interpret and speak.
Some PDF files come with text that can be detected by a combination of
Adobe's accessibility program and JAWS. However, others are photographs
where the text is part of the image. These files must go through an optical
character recognition process, OCR for short.
Eventually someone on this list will follow up, but for now, look through
your OpenBook documentation for OCR or optical character recognition. I'm
sure you'll find an explanation of how it works and how to make PDF image
documents accessible.

Carlos,
When Adobe and JAWS tell you "empty document," it means you need to perform
OCR, optical character recognition, before JAWS can read it. Do you have a
system like OpenBook or Kurzweil Reader? They can do this conversion.
Otherwise, there are other programs that can do the job, as people on this
list can pass along. The one I use is OmniPage.

Listers,
I have installed and uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe reader9.3, and am
having the same problem; wich is, Jaws isn't seeing some of the scannings.
My brother is telling me that the document is there as clear as day but
Jaws12 just isn't seeing it. Now other scanning of the same document jaws
does see and read.
When Jaws doesn't see the document the message is, "alert, know pages." But
the pages are there! I also know that the pages are there because when
Adobe is putting the pages in order Jaws will say how many pages there are,
and again, my brother reads.
Can someone tell me how and why, is Jaws12, reading some scans and not
reading other scans of the exact same document?!
This is a health document and I really want to have it in PDF form, it's
about 70 pages which is really nothing for adobe or jaws to handle.
Well, Please forgive me for such a long post, but I need this help.
Thanks! To all.
Carliss
