not sure if it has changed because I had version 8, but if you saved the pdf
to your computer. and with the pdf document opened, just activate the
print command then choose print with freedom import printer and after
printing is finished the document will showup in OpenBook.
I would assume it is the same if the document is on the web!

Hi everyone. I'm still getting my head around JAWS 18. How do you access
Convenient OCR? Also, I purchased OpenBook a few months ago and am still on
the waiting list for training. Can anyone give me a few pointers to get
started with PDFS?
Thanks
Michele

Hi, Vicky. I'll answer with a qualified yes. I'm assuming that JAWS 16
doesn't have the Convenient OCR feature, but I could be wrong. With
convenient OCR, JAWS makes it easy to convert PDF files. The typical
sequence of keystrokes is JAWS key+spacebar, then o for OCR, then d for
document. You wait a while, not long at all for short documents and maybe
a few minutes for longer ones, and then the text of the PDF file is
displayed in a new window.
If you can live with those steps, the Convenient OCR feature is well
worthwhile. I use it all the time.

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.
Sincerely, Vicky Vaughan
