[Trainer-talk] question about PDF documents that will not display

[Michelle Clark]

Actually, I  do not have to turn off JAWS to copy a  document. It may be
related to how my system is set up? However, when this occurs, I  open a
new Word document, do a  "select all", then "copy",  and paste it into the
new document.

If Jaws says it is empty...you can do many things One, alt f to file and go
down to save as other and choose text and it saves as an rtf you can also
turn off jaws, do a ctrl a, ctrl c and paste into word, turn jaws back on
next for really nasty images that refuse to do all...yes you can save and
put thru openbook or kurzweil but if you have jaws 16..the new ocr---insert
space, o, d is fantastic...here is a video on it--will open in virtual
viewer, copy and paste into word and start editing away-- watch on youtube:
