Hi John, If you have Openbook installed, you can use OB to scan these so called empty PDF files as well. Try the following: 1. Open the PDF with Adobe as usual. 2. Press, Control + P, to open the print dialogue. 3. Arrow down the printer options to the, Freedom Import Printer, & press enter. Give OB a ahalf a minute or so to open & scan. Now you can save it, or do whatever you want to do with it. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.

Hi John, It means that the PDF is an image of the text and not actual JAWS readable text. If you would like to read it on the screen with JAWS press the JAWS-key, The spacebar, then the letter O and finally the letter D. Press these one right after the other. JAWS will do the OCR on the file and read it out. Hope this helps!
