Thanks. I'll certainly look into it.

It depends a great deal on how the pdf files were created. If the
pdf is simply a scanned image of the article, there's no pdf viewer/
screen reader in the world that will read the contents of the pdf
file. Get smeone else to look at the ones that don't work, and ask
them if it's typed text, or scanned images. If it's a picture of
the article on paper, it won't work. Otherwise, it *should* work.
Should is the key word of course. I've never run across a pdf file
that was created properly that wouldn't read with voice over. I
have however found pdf files that wouldn't work, and after looking
into it, it was discovered that those pdf files weren't text at
all, but merely pictures of text. This is probably what your
experiencing, but double check to make sure.

Hello,
I wonder if anyone on this list might be able to help me with a
compatability problem between voiceOver and PDF files. The problem
is that, when I try to download journal articles from the data
bases at my university library, VoiceOver does not always
recognize the contents. Any suggestions as to how I might solve
this problem would be highly appreciated.
