Alice, If you have OpenBook, you would open and then minimize the program. Then, go to the PDF file an print it to the Freedom Import Printer. I'm not real thrilled with the OCR OpenBook uses, but, maybe it will help. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of alice dampman Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 8:51 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: new adobe reader version ok, let me ask the question another way, since I've got to read this document...how do I use OCR to read it?

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?
