Unfortunately most of these commands are for html.  They are also good in
pdf files, except that many of the controls in html aren't in pdf files.
Also, she said it said the document is empty, which means it contains an
image, not text so OCR  will have to be done.

jaws plus space bar, then O gets you into ocr in recent versions of jaws,
don't remember the letter to read the whole document, s reads screen I
believe.
