I just tried this with a large PDF file been meaning to look into for a
while, and while I select the MS document image writer, it initially says
0%, and then I just get 2 dialogues from acrobat itsself telling me nothing
has been selected - even if I tell it all pages/current page - and then
another one telling me it can't be printed?
This is with reader 9.0 and office 2003 installed.
Alternatively, if I try out Jamal's PDFToTxt, it takes rather a long while
to process it, and doesn't render too much text which means that the quality
probably isn't too good, but that shouldn't affect the image writer
printing.
Stay well

If you have Microsoft Office you can print to Microsoft Document Image
Writer. Simply print the file in Adobe Reader but change the printer to
Microsoft Document Image Writer.
This will allow you to create a file with a tif extension.
Now open Microsoft Office document Imaging and open the tiff file you
have created. You will find this application under the Tools menu of the
Microsoft Office menus in Programs on the start menu.
Now go to the Tools menu and select Send Text to Word. You will get a
message saying that OCR needs to be performed. Let the application do
this.
Press enter again to confirm that you want to send all pages.
Word will open with the text from the PDF graphics file.
By the way the OCR is usually excellent .

Subject: [Blind-Computing] converting a graphical .pdf file
Hello everyone,
Is there a way to convert a graphical .pdf file to something that JAWS can
read?
I have been sent a 150 page .pdf file that is very important, but they
just
scanned the documents.
I could just print them all out and then scan them myself, but that would
take a lot of time and a lot of paper and ink.
I'm hoping that I can do it all on the computer.
Thanks for any help.
Ken
