[nfbcs] "empty" pdf

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

Yes, turn off jaws, do a ctrl a to select all, ctrl c to copy, alt tab to
word and paste with ctrl v then hit the ctrl key and let go which takes you
into paste options then hit t to keep text only which essentially turns
that image into text---then turn jaws back on and read
