[nabs-l] Reading PDF Documents with JAWS

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Amy,

Will it select the tccxt even if JAWS says "blank document?" In 
other words, will there be text on the clipboard although JAWS 
says it's blank?

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

impaired children in MD say "I can!"

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
