This really depends on what level of security the document creater uses. Typically, I get a lot of documents that are images, with no text at all. Sometimes Adobe 9 can pull some text out of them, but I've had far better results by using Open Book's Freedom Import Printer to do OCR on the image. Depending on how the document is formatted, you may have to play with the decolumnization feature in Open Book to get the results you want.

I don't know anything about other screen readers.
