Either Open Book or Omni Page Pro will be able to decode the document for you. For help doing this with open book, await the input of somebody who has it. As for Omnipage Pro, you just find the document in the regular way, right click on it and then click on the Omnipage submenu. From here, you can have the document cotnverted o text. The text version will have the same name as the pdf and will be dropped in to the same folder also.

Thanks.

Your discription seems to suggest that the document is an image which will require OCR to decode.

Now when I try to read a pdf document, I get the message alert: empty document. What's going on? How can I fix this?
