Hmm, could it be a picture?

No, the gibberish is not another language, just random characters and symbols that don't make any sense.

Just a thought. Is the jibberish another language? I've notice that sometimes the text on one side of a page is english and on the facing page it is french, spanish or japanese.

Thanks for this great tip. I had no idea OB could translate PDF documents that Adobe can't handle into speech. I tried it on a PDF instruction manual for a talking forehead thermometer I just ordered, and for the most part OB successfully converted it into a readable format. However, some of the pages translated into gibberish. Is there any way to clean this up to make it more intelligible? Thanks.

Open Book has this capability.
When you are in Adobe, use Control P to print.
But instead of the default printer, you should find, Freedom Import
Printer.
When you choose this printer to print to, Open Book will start, scan the
pdf file as if it were a paper file in your scanner, and hopefully leave
you with readable text.
Be patient, it may take a couple minutes for Open Book to boot and start
scanning.
Blessings,
Tom

I have a very old version of Openbook, like version 6.0, I think.  I
don't
know if it had that capability.

So there is something there, it's just not visible to JAWS?

I HAD A THOUGHT!  No. Wait. False alarm.
