A much cheaper option is OmniPage, which has served me well. I bought my
copy, version 17, for $99. that price was advertised as a promotion, but the
promotion seemed to go on so long that I think it became the actual price.
It doesn't provide everything the two reading systems you mention do, but
it's an affordable and simple-to-use application for converting PDF image
files to a variety of formats. It also gets exceptional ratings for
accuracy.

Andy,
You're looking at a scanned image. Your sighted coworkers can see this as a
pure graphical image. Happens to me several times a month.
There is nothing wrong with JAWS and nothing wrong with Adobe.
You need to use an OCR program like Openbook or Kurzweil to recognize the
text on the document and convert to a text or Word file.
Many on this list will have suggestions for other OCR converters, if you
don't have these.
Dave
