If it is saying "document unavailable", you need to break open the image.  Be sure to OCR it.  If possible, run it through an assistive OCR program if you can not use the OCR option.  You can only use this option with the full Adobe program.  Hope this helps.

Also, I just wanted to tell you that the Charts that I need to read are on Blackboard, and in  PDF format, and JAWS can't read them at all. JAWS always keeps saying Document Unavailable. What do you think I should do with the tables chaarts? Do you think I should put them in Microsoft Word even though they don't look good because they get mess up? What do you do in this cases? just curious! Thanks and God bless!! :)
