[nabs-l] Reading PDF Documents with JAWS

[Patrick Molloy]

Justin,
What you want to do is get yourself a copy of Adobe Acrobat for your
computer. Then, when you've got one of those PDF's that isn't
accessible, Adobe will convert it for you. Otherwise, JAWS will just
read the thing as "Blank Document." I speak from experience.
