Dwight, This is because whoever scanned the image into a PDF file scanned it as an image (picture) rather than saving it as text. Only way around this is to import with Freedom import printer if you are using open book or print it and then scan it. This is a real pain with PDF files like this
Al -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Dwight Johnson Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 6:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS will nnot read PDF Hello: When I open a PDF file JAWS says it is processing the document. When it finishes JAWS repeats the PDF file name then there is silence. If I press the up or down arrow there is silence. If I press the left or right arrow JAWS says blank. I am told by my wife the document is on the screen but if I try to read it with the JAWS cursor I get one or two characters at a time but they are not part of the document. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on or what I can do to correct the problem? I am using windows xp, office 2007, JAWS 9 and the latest Adobe reader download.
