1. Openbook for JAWS will open and read the ebook.<br />2. PDF's come in two versions- Text based and picture based. Kurzweill is really good about handling both. You would open the PDF as you would an old KESI file. File>open and such. Depending on whether you want to extract the text for braille or have the pdf read will dictate the next steps. What is the end goal of opening the PDF? You may need to zone edit, clean up, and identify pictures before having it read.<br /><hr width="100%" size="2" /><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><b /></font><b><font face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif"><b><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">With regards,<br /></font></b></font><font face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif"><b><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">R.
