Hi Russ, I have run into this problem several times in the past and following the steps below saved my butt on these occasions. You will need Open Book installed to use the steps below.
1. After Adobe opens the file and Jaws announces " Empty Document " press Alt + F for the file menu. 2. Arrow down to print and press enter or press the letter P. 3. Arrow up to Freedom Printer and press enter. Doing this opens Open Book and Open Book will open and read this empty document. 4. To save this PDF document while Open Book has it there press the Alt key, right arrow to launchables and press enter. 5. Arrow down to Word and press enter and you can save it in Word .doc format. 6. To save in " .doc " format press control + A to select all, Then press control + C to copy, press control + V to paste the document into a new Word document, press control + S to save and name the document. You do the selecting and copying while you are in Open Book. If you try to save it as a Word doc here, it will save as a Word doc in Open Book. If you don't have Open Book installed, contact me off list and I'll see if I can help you out. Hope these steps help. Take care.

I entered to have the document prepared. After Jaws said, 100%, I heard, "Empty document." Can anyone help me out here? I have received this message before.
