Re: [JAWS-Users] Some PDFs do not read properly

[Jim Pursley]

I occasionally experience the run on word issue you seem to be 
describing.  It clears up when you change the reading format to the read 
from the raw print stream option.  Control shift 5 gets you the reading 
format list.  Arrow where you want to go.   Tagged readin format 
sometimes does not behave properly either.

Hi all,


For a while now, I have noticed that some PDFs are not read properly 
by Jaws or NVDA. What happens is that multiple words are read as one 
long word, with no spaces between the words. This is not on all PDFs, 
just some. I have never encountered this problem with PDFs that I have 
created using either MS Word or PDF995. On the PDFs that have a 
problem, I have extracted them to text files and the problem will also 
show up in the text file. Someone had once suggested that the problem 
is related to the original font being used, but that does not make any 
sense. So, Can anyone shed a little light on this problem?



Here is a link to a PDF with the problem I have described (from last 
weeks Top Tech Tidbits newsletter):

I am using Windows 7, Jaws 16/NVDA 2018.1 and Acrobat Reader DC 
2018.011.20040.



Thanks,

John

John, 

This may not assist you directly, but lately when I've encountered this 
problem, I've found that the JAWS convenient OCR feature reproduces the text 
with the spaces between words intact. I don't recall if JAWS convenient OCR was 
included with JAWS 16. If it was, you might try it and compare results. 
Keystrokes: JAWS key+spacebar, then separately o for OCR , then d for document. 
The process can be slow. The results will be displayed in a separate window.
