Hi Vicki, I receive PDF documents many times a week and my JAWS 18 has an excellent OCR feature to read them virtually perfectly. Also, once JAWS has run it through the OCR and it is on my screen I can arrow up and down to read lines as many times as I want. I can also then capture the readable document and place it into a text or Word document. Very handy. George

Hi List, I am wondering if it is worth spending the money to upgrade to 18 from the latest 16. If you say that it can read PDFs without going through recognition steps, then, it will be worth it for me. Please let me know.
