Annette, which Adobe product do you have?
i think you're talking also about a paid Adobe product, whereas most
people are just using the free Adobe Reader (which doesn't have OCR
capability). Thus, the empty document message arises.

My guess is that the PDF was created by someone scanning the
information in
to it. Essentially, the document contains a picture of the contents.
You
will need to run the document through some type of OCR (Optical
Character
Recognition) process. If you have OpenBook, you can accomplish this
by
sending the document out of Adobe and into OpenBook via the Freedom
Printer
if you have it set up. There is a similar process for Kurzweil or in
the
OCR package you are using. You can also open the document directly in
your
OCR package. In my Adobe, I have my accessibility options set up to
automatically come up so that I can tell it to run the OCR process
right in
Adobe. If your Adobe accessibility settings are not set up, I'm sure
someone on this list can point you in the right direction as I have
not had
to do this in years.
HTH,
Annette
