No, that's not available in the free version. They need then to have at least an OCR program like Abbyy FineReader or Omnipage, recent versions of which can convert pdf images into a reading format.

Can one save the PDF under another format, such as TIFF, under Adobe Reader? If so, Microsoft word will use it's own OCR to read the page and present it's output in Microsoft Word for the blind user to read, just as an alternative to buying those more expensive OCR packages like Kurzweil or Open Book.
