Hi, Ed. I've gotten away from using JAWS OCR, and even Adobe pdf Reader.
Much of the time now I use
RoboBraille.org to convert my pdf files.

Listers:
I'm wondering if anyone on the list has figured out what I have
found to be an increasingly prevalent vexing problem
I am not talking about PDF files which consist of pictures only.
Then, JAWS simply says "empty document."
I've used JAWS's "convenient" OCR, and it works pretty well.
I think it is using some form of the OmniPage OCR engine.
The OCR functionality, however, is powerless against what I'm
calling the Pernicious PDF.
When it opens, JAWS will read the title (the title in the
document, not the title of the file), and it may read a few other
fragments.
For the most part, however, JAWS just says "Graphic."
So far, the only way to beat this, that I've found, is to print,
scan back in, and run the OCR.
