Hi Wayne, When you have 1 of those graphic files, open it as usual, then press, Control + P, to bring up the print dialogue, arrow down to, Freedom Import Printer, & press enter. Give your system some time to respond & get Openbook started & scanning. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.

I have seen that printer listed when I go to print a document. How do I use it to read a graphic pdf?

Open Book carries with it a handy "Freedom printer" which is able to open a secure graphically sent pdf so that I might read it. Nothing else works, not even JAWS OCR. I suppose that I could print to my HP printer, too, but I'd be using quite a bit of paper and would need to physically scan each page. So, Open Book is my buddy.
