[nabs-l] Converting inaccessible PDF's

[justin williams]

I'm using jaws 14, but from what I can see, even if you use the ocr in jaws, you can only read it; you can't manipulate it in any way.

The OCR in Openbook which is now built in to jaws 13 is all you need to read a PDF. 
All this means is when you select the program to open I. You would pick Openbook but you do not have to do that anymore because of jaws 13. 
I do not remember how I put Openbook as an option in the programs list because it is not a default. 
If you would like more information on features for this software I copied a link.
I am sorry I do not recall all of the detailed. 
What version of jaws are you using? If it is jaws 12 or higher you have built in OCR and do not need any of this.
Open a PDF, let it load and use your Jaws reading keys.
I am sorry I did not ask the jaws version question befor because that could save a lot of work.
