[nabs-l] Reading PDF Documents with JAWS

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Okay, for clarification, if a PDF is not accessible, it is not accessible. 
There are only certain types of PDF's that you can have JAWS read or save as 
text or copy and paste. If it is accessible but protected, then you can read 
it with JAWS, but you cannot copy and paste it. If it is one of those PDF's 
that is a graphic of text, then there is no saving it as text or copying and 
pasting it.
