Hi Mohib, If you are using JAWS 16, there is a solution for your PDF files.
You can take advantage of document scanning feature which is introduced in JAWS 16. If your PDF file contains images, this feature will extract the text from the images and allows you to read content in a virtual curser. You can even copy and paste the text if you need. To scan PDF document: 1. Open PDF file. 2. Hit INSERT+SPACEBAR. 3. Press D to begin scanning your document. 4. Weight till the JAWS complete its scan and gather text in a virtual curser. Note: this feature works only with PDF files.
