What JAWS version do you use and what scan-and-read program do 
you use? I can tell you how to do OCR on a PDF document in JAWS 
13 using its built-in OCR engine, and how to do it in Kurzweil; 
if you use Openbook, I can't help you, as I don't use that 
program.

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

 It's an image, so you'll have to do OCR on it.  If you have JAWS 
13, this
 is built in; otherwise, you'll have to use Kurzweil or OpenBook.

 empty.  Thanks

 Dear Ms.  Sena,

 I would like to share with you the link to the We Connect Now 
website.
 http://weconnectnow.wordpress.com/ The website was created while 
I was a
 college student with a grant I received from YP4 to develop a 
website to
 serve college students with disabilities.  The website was 
developed in an
 effort to connect and integrate college students with 
disabilities as a
 virtual community with a voice on important issues.
 The We Connect Now website has been up and serving college 
students with
 disabilities since April of 2008.

 I wanted to share the We Connect Now website with you so that 
you may
 post
 it as a resource in your website or otherwise share it with 
students that
 you serve or have contact with.  The website has been used as a 
resource
 by
 institutions of higher learning and has been linked to by 
colleges and
 universities and groups serving people with disabilities in 50 
states and
 at
 least 9 foreign countries.

 I thank you for any and all help that you and your office may 
give me in
 promoting this project as a service to all college students with
 disabilities.

 Sincerely,

 Gabriela McCall Delgado
