If it's possible, it's better to open the pdf than print it. V12 and 13
of Kurzweil1000 can open the pdf and then start image recognition in it.
(This is a more accurate process than printing it.) So use that or your
off-the-shelf OCR program (if you have one) [with JAWS], if it can open
pdf's.

yes but if the file is locked/secured and/or accessibility is turned
off as well, then it can't scan it, don't know where folks got that
notion, unless K9 did something to circumvent pdf security? if its
secured its not scanable in K8

method a
try to see how it goes.

If you have Open Book or Kurzweil you can send the file to the
printer then
select the appropriate one and the image file is converted. Jaws OCR
is
best used just to get a look at what it is so you know if you want to
proceed further with a conversion process. It is not meant to read
long
documents. For that you really need some kind of scanning program
that will
convert image files to text.

Hi,
I am assuming that the PDF document is an image. If you have a
scanner, you
can print the document and then scan it to have Jaws be able to read
the
document as a text file.
I don't have open book or Kirzwell, but I understand that either one
can
read the image file and convert it to text. I also understand that
there
might be some site on the web that will do the same. Sorry to say,
but I
don't know where that would be. Perhaps a Google search can find one
for
you?
Take care.

I've tried everything and cannot get it to work.
Thank you.
