[Blindtlk] Does JAWS read PDF's?

Some .pdf files can be read very well, and others cannot.  It depends on the 
creator of the document.  Sometimes you will see the message Alert Empty 
Document.

The document is really there, and the way to access it is through an OCR 
program like OpenBook.  You can use the Freedom Import Printer, in the case 
of OpenBook where this is a virtual printer that will scan the file 
internally and present it to you, just as if you had scanned a hard copy 
document.

Subject: [Blindtlk] Does JAWS read PDF's?

Hello friends,
I am struggling with the amount of text I must read in graduate school. My
CCTV decided to stop working and I really need it. I do have some of my
books in a pdf version. The disabled student center said I could use a
program called Read And Write Gold along with Adobe Reader to read the
texts but it is not working. Please help.
Thank you,
