Yes, JAWS's convenient OCR is probably the simplest way of handling this problem. but I'm wondering why nothing was spoken. Typically, I get an Adobe dialog asking how I want the PDF file made readable. I click on my choice and wait. Sometimes the document is read, sometimes I'm told it's "blank."
Jeff, did you set up Adobe Reader for accessibility? If not, open Adobe/Acrobat and press control-k. JAWS will verbalize "Accessibility" right away. Go from there. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jared Rimer Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2017 11:40 PM To: JAWS-Users-List@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Need help with Adobe Reader DC You can also do d for document which would work for those image documents.
