[humanser] JAWS 16 and pdf

[Steve Jacobson]

Jan,

Does any of your on-screen OCR work?  For example, you can do OCR on a
window.  When installing from a download once, I didn't get the OCR
components, and I had to download them separately.  However, this did not
happen to me when I installed the JAWS 16 trial.  However, if non of the OCR
functions work, it probably means that for some reason the OCR package that
JAWS uses did not install.  If you have a CD, there might be something you
have to run.  If you downloaded your latest version, you may need to
download the OCR piece or just try installing again.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I did that but it said something about not installed.

You have to actually do ocr optical character recognition on the document.
