Hi richard,
Yes, I have recently successfully imported and read an image file that I got 
from my physician. I certainly didn’t understand all of the numbers, smile. But 
I did understand the bottom line. And it was definitely an image based file, 
because I first opened it in the mail program, and it was empty or blank. I had 
that problem before, where it wouldn’t read. But some update our other fixed it 
for me.
