it is a portable document format file. Sighted people love it, because it
is very flexible. you can copy all sorts of things to a pdf and then send
it to whoever, or put it on a Web site for download. There is a free
program available called Adobe Reader
www.adobe.com/
plus an Adobe Acrobat writer (which must be purchased), available to make
(with the writer), navigate and read such files.

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
