When you get the document is empty message, this means that the document was scanned into the PDF format. So what you have is a picture or image of the text, and not the actual text. I believe that you can send these types of documents through programs like OpenBook and Kurzweil to convert them into text. You can print the document if it is not very large and scan it back into the computer through again, a OCR package such as OpenBook, Kurzweil, Abby Fine, or even the OCR feature in MS-Word.
