Hi Vicki, After opening the "empty" pdf, hit JAWSKey+spacebar followed by "od" (without the quotes). This invokes the OCR document scan. It will take a bit of time for the scan, depending on the size of your document. The result is then displayed in the virtual viewer. If you wanted to, once the scan is complete, you could select all of the text, copy it to the clipboard and paste it into a text file.
