Hi all,

I am working with depositions for the first time, but am having
trouble figuring out how to read a copy where the line numbering is
preserved so that I can cite to it correctly. The pdf copies have not
been ocr'd. I tried opening them in k1000 with moderate but unreliable
success. when I try opening them in the pdf editor, it just says it's
a blank document.

Any assistance with either how to use Kurzweil to preserve line
numbering or how to get another pdf program to recognize the file
would be greatly appreciated.  I know new versions of jaws have some
sort of OCR functionality built in; I've been looking but can't find
it. This assignment has a short turn around, otherwise I would do more
digging myself before asking on-list. Any assistance or advice would
be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Laura
