[nabs-l] Textbook Help

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
I had jaws 9 and i found it will read some pdf files.  It won't read image 
files.  I'm not sure jaws 10 can either.  Access to pdf has improved but you 
won't know if its readable until you try.  If not accessible use your OCR 
scanning software if you have it or print the needed text and scan it.
