That's only available in JAWS 16, and not everyone has the latest version.

What command are you using in JAWS to read the PDF file? If you use 
JAWS+space followed by o and then w you'll just get the visible screen
recognized. If you use JAWS+space followed by o and then d, you'll get the
whole document recognized. If you haven't tried yet, you might try using the
document command.
