yes but if the file is locked/secured and/or accessibility is turned off as
well, then it can't scan it, don't know where folks got that notion, unless
K9 did something to circumvent pdf security? if its secured its not scanable
in K8

This is what I was doing, but it didn't work. I will give Ryan's method a
try to see how it goes.

If you have Open Book or Kurzweil you can send the file to the printer
then
select the appropriate one and the image file is converted. Jaws OCR is
best used just to get a look at what it is so you know if you want to
proceed further with a conversion process. It is not meant to read long
documents. For that you really need some kind of scanning program that
will
convert image files to text.

Hi,
I am assuming that the PDF document is an image. If you have a scanner,
you
can print the document and then scan it to have Jaws be able to read the
document as a text file.
I don't have open book or Kirzwell, but I understand that either one can
read the image file and convert it to text. I also understand that there
might be some site on the web that will do the same. Sorry to say, but I
don't know where that would be. Perhaps a Google search can find one for
you?
Take care.

I've tried everything and cannot get it to work.
Thank you.
