if you have jaws 2018 it might be able to be read by opening a context menu on
the file and use the jaws o c r to read it.. you have to wait a few seconds
before it is processed.
***
the most popular pdf reader is adobe reader dc. but this one will not convert a
image file, if this is what it is.
you can also try useing the on line robo brail to convert the file to another
format.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Best program for reading PDFs
Hi all, I have been sent a document I really need to read as soon as
possible but it is a PDF and it appears I don't have a program on my laptop
to read these. When I tried to open it straight from the email it opened in
edge and I couldn't read anything. After I saved it to a folder in my
documents and went to open it I got a list of programs I could use to open
it but all I tried couldn't display the document. I tried opening it in
notepad and got a lot of rubbish instead of what it was meant to be. So now
I am wondering what the best program to use with Jaws 2018 and windows 10 is
and where can I get it from?
I've been having trouble making the person on the other end understand what
format I need because the first time she sent it to me it was a picture
which of course Jaws couldn't read so I asked her to send it again in a word
file. She then sent me a screen shot of the document so again I had to
explain that jaws doesn't read pictures and asked again for a word version.
She is working on an iPad so she didn't have access to word so she finally
sent me the PDF version. I'm afraid that this too will be a picture rather
than an actual PDF but to find this out I need a program that will open it.
Thanks for any help.
From Shaz.
