Before investing in OCR programs for this rather simple image conversion
job, try out the free program pdf2txt, downloadable from
http://EmpowermentZone.com/p2tsetup.exe
PDF2TXT
which is now at version 3.3 and was (and is being) developed by Jamal
Mazrui. i wrote on this to the list a few weeks ago, so I'm sure it's
already mentioned in the archive.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Opening a PDF file
Hi all,
We received an attachment in the form of a PDF file from our CPA. There
are
no graphics. It is just a straight letter but, when I try to convert it
with Adobe it says, "Alert, Empty document". Is there something that I
can
do so Jaws will read this letter? I also tried to copy it but, when I
try
to select all I get this message, "This is a secure document. Selection
is
not allowed." I had my better half look at the attachment and that is
how I
know that the letter contains only text. I am running XP/SP3 Home,
Office
Home 2002, Adobe 9.1, & Jaws 10 latest. All help will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
Mike
