[Cabs-talk] Fwd: [nabs-l] PDF Files

[Angela Fowler]

If JAWS claims that the document is empty, you are dealing with a PDF image.
Save the file, then open it in Kurzweil. OCR will automatically run. It will
take a few minutes, but the file will be accessible.

Hi,
Yes, I tried opening it through adobe. But for some reason my Jaws will not
read it.
