Thanks, Nicole!

There are two different ways.
1.  From in Kurzweil, use the oopen file option on the file menu.
2.  In windows explorer, highlight the PDF file and either use 
the open with
option on the file menu or press the applications key to get the 
context
menu and select open with from there.  In the open with dialog, 
select
Kurzweil.

 Chris,
 You can open the file directly using Kurzweil, and it should 
automatically
 convert the file.

 Hi Marsha,

 Don't you have to print the PDF out and scan it before you open
 it in Kurzweil?

 You could go at this in several different ways.  If you have a
 PDF, you can
 always extract the text, into a Text file.  You could also open 
a
 PDF into
 Kurzweil.  If it's a picture you can open it in Kurzweil and see
 what you
 get.  PDF's are the most by far frustrating thing ever.

 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
