After I've performed Convenient OCR on a PDF document, I copy the result into Notepad, and only after that copy it to Word. It makes all the difference, I think because the OCR result is presented at least partially in table form.

I have a question regarding the opening/conversion of a pdf file. I opened a pdf file using the traditional adobe software, and JAWS read it as a blank document. Then I tried to use the Jaws OCR method. It converted the document, but all I got was a bunch of information that was not understandable. I even tried to open it with Word (2013), but that was a flop as well. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what can be done to read this file? I am using Word 2013, JAWS 17 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Many thanks in advance.
