A scanned document is actually a picture of the text. No screen reader on
the planet can read a picture of text or at least that's the way it was
explained to me.

Jo,
The Adobe Reader won't do anything with scanned PDF documents. If a
document is accessible, you can save the
document to text, but this won't work on scanned documents.
Best regards,

Hi all,
I have been reading everything I could find on the Adobe website so I do
understand that pdf documents can't be read if they're sent as "scanned"
documents. I know that authors are not always conscious about making their
documents accessible and using the WCAG guidelines. I am asking about my
own settings and whether I have them set optimally for a blind user. Do I
need Adobe Acrobat to convert to Word, etc.? I have the WE app. But I
believe it's fairly old.
I don't wish to buy the Readit Air as it's very expensive and does multiple
things I don't need. Yes, I can read pdfs on my iPhone but that doesn't
always fit for me.
I appreciate all the wisdom here. I've been screaming at my church about
their pdf newsletter but... (sigh)...someday!
