If it is saved as a text or some such file that can be opened in an application where your screen reader is able to access the document. If it is an image kind of file then forget it completely.

Does this apply to scanned documents as well? For example, I scan a letter into my computer, then email it as an attachment to you. How easy is it to be read?

It's possible that the PDF file you are having trouble with is a photocopy document loaded into a PDF. This means that there may be nothing at all wrong with your Adobe Reader and you won't be able to save the document as a text document because it is essentially one big picture of a document that was photocopied and loaded into PDF. ---------------- Bill Gallik E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question. * * * * * * * - "Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president." - Johnny Carson - "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." - Kurt Vonnegut Visit the Blind Computing List home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/not known right now To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.blind-computing.com/contact.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the Blind Computing List home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/not known right now To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.blind-computing.com/contact.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the Blind Computing List home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/not known right now To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.blind-computing.com/contact.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
