they said jaws 2018.
no, note pad is not needed to read the text.
i just for got to delete the note pad reference when i was editing what i was
going to say. grin
but you do need to use note pad if you want to save the ocr text, by useing
copy and paste to copy the text into note pad.

That seems a bit vague, even to me. Do you bring up the file list in the
"Open" dialog of Notepad? If so, you also need to change the file type to
"all files" to see any PDF document.
I'm thinking that your idea is based on JAWS 2018 with the capability to
recognize a PDF file directly from a file list in Windows Explorer, and not
opening it. If so, then Notepad has nothing to do with the process -- the
virtual viewer will come up without having Notepad open.
I'm not sure the requester has said what version of JAWS is being used.
Also the context menu that pops up does not say "OCR" it instead says
"Recognize with JAWS".

easy.
open note pad then go to your files. but don't open them.
open a context menu on them and use the ocr option and wait a few seconds
for
it to process the text.
do not press the escape key or it will close. then you can view the text
of
the pdf file.
the acuracy of the text depends on how much video errors there are in the
scanned image.

I have several .PDF documents showing up as empty, so how can I get JAWS
2018
to read them?
Thanks.
