Hello Justin,

Have you tried selecting the entire document and then doing a
copy and paste into ms word? Or also saving the pdf document as a
txt document and, then opening it in notepad or in ms word? I
have used these techniques that have worked unless the pdf
document is tagged... take care and good luck!


Hugs,
amy

Hello All,

Hope you are doing well.  I have a question for you.  In my
experience
with pdf files it seems like JAWS is selective in which it wishes
to
read and those it wishes not to read.  Have any others
experienced
this?  How do we get the ones that don't want to be read to do
so?  I
must admit I don't know much about PDFs.

Any suggestions, ideas, comments are appreciated.

Justin
