It does have some secure pdf out there which blocks screen reader from taking info from especially window-eyes. Once I decrypt it, window-eyes can pick it up again.

The latest version of JFW has some built-in OCR and is probably performing OCR on it. If you have an OCR program, OmniPage, FineReader, Open Book, Kurzweil 1000 or other software like that, you can likely convert this manual and make it something you can read. I believe there is even supposed to be a web site around that will convert it. It is a royal pain when they create a manual in this way, but there are approaches to it.
