[nabs-l] question about Jaws and PDFs

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hello Ashley,

You can convert image-based PDFs if printing is allowed by opening them in
Adobe Reader, pressing control+p and selecting the Kurzweil or OpenBook
virtual printer.

Hi Rachel,

Some pds work and others don't.  I use jaws too and find the same issues. 
If its an image, jaws will not read it.  But if you have a scanning program,
that should convert for you.  I don't know how to do it, but I heard
Openbook and Kurzweil will convert them.
If you can't read them, another option is printing them and scanning them in
as well.

Ashley
