When you say sometimes JAWS can read the document and sometimes it
can't, does this refer to the same exact file on your hard drive? What
you describe is what happens when the PDF file contains pages that have
been scanned into a computer. Sighted users have no problem reading the
page, but JAWS says it is an empty document. This means these pages are
just images. To read this with a screen reader, it will first need to
have Optical Character Recognition (OCR) performed on the document.

real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I
am working on things that matter.

Listers,
I have installed and uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe reader9.3, and am
having the same problem; wich is, Jaws isn't seeing some of the scannings.
My brother is telling me that the document is there as clear as day but
Jaws12 just isn't seeing it. Now other scanning of the same document jaws
does see and read.
When Jaws doesn't see the document the message is, "alert, know pages." But
the pages are there! I also know that the pages are there because when
Adobe is putting the pages in order Jaws will say how many pages there are,
and again, my brother reads.
Can someone tell me how and why, is Jaws12, reading some scans and not
reading others of the exact same document?!
This is a health document and I really want to have it in PDF form, it's
about 70 pages which is really nothing for adobe or jaws to handle.
Well, Please forgive me for such a long post, but I need this help.
Thanks! To all.
Carliss
