This most likely means that the document is a scanned image, rather than a converted text document. It is basically a picture of text, rather than text itself, so no screen reader will read it, or you might get just some jibberish. You can ask for a copy of the document in a word processor format like MS Word, or, as a last resort, you can use an OCR program like open Book or K1000 to perform OCR on the document. This may render the document readable. Andy

I entered to have the document prepared. After Jaws said, 100%, I heard, "Empty document." Can anyone help me out here? I have received this message before.
