Re: [JAWS-Users] trying to read PDF files from a Yahoo groups file section
Thanks, Flor! I knew about Open Bok and Kurzweil, of course, but not the others. I'm not so much looking for ways to scan material from print and read it as I am to be able to convert graphic PDF files to text PDF files that I can read, if that is even possible. But I'll look into some of those off the shelf packages, (smile). Shoshana For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] trying to read PDF files from a Yahoo groups file section
LOL, Flor ...turns out you were right the first time! They were basically graphic PDF files, but I emailed the person who uploaded them, and he got me copies I'll be able to read. Since I will need the information for an upcoming meeting, I am obliged to him (smile). OK ...an OCR package? Could you explain a bit about that and make a suggestion as to one I could get for my PC that is likely to work with JAWS 14? Thanks!

[JAWS-Users] trying to read PDF files from a Yahoo groups file section
I am attempting, unsuccessfully, to read some PDF files added to a Yahoo Group. I know these are text files, not graphics, but when I open them in Acrobat Reader (not sure which version I have, probably 11) I'm told it's an empty document. Am I not doing something right? Alternatively, how can I get it from my downloads folder into either notepad or MS word 2003? I'm using Windows 7, JAWS 14 Magic 12, and IE9. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
