these are bitmaps not text.  in addition to ocr, pdfs can also be generated 
directly from text.

Hi All:

   I finally found a PDF copy of my Amateur Radio Transceiver's
Instruction Manual.
However, when I open it in Preview, all VO announces are blank pages.
I do have enough vision to see that there is text and diagrams
presented on the screen.
Could it be that OCR wasn't used to initially scan the document? Other
Manufacturers Manuals present no problem what so ever.

TNX all:

Michael

I could attach a copy if anyone has access to a scanner to re_produce
the manual for reading.
This manual is vary important to me.
