Hi Dwight, Once you open the document, go to the document menu, and arrow down to Recognize Text Using OCR sub-menu, then arrow down to Start, if not already there, and press enter. You'll be confronted with a dialog box asking what language you want to use to recognize the text. It should say English US, so all you have to do is arrow down to the start button, and press the spacebar. At that point, Adobe should start looking for and making the document as accessible as it can using it's own OCR. Hope this helps.
