Hi Lenny, Have you tried to use Openbook to read it or, another OCR program? I don't have a protected PDF file to play around with so, I can't experiment. 1 other thought, since the text is on the screen, try virtualizing the window, selecting all the text, & pasting it into Notepad to see if you can read it that way. Remember to escape out of the virtual view or, you won't be able to open Notepad. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

It came in pdf format. When I try to open it I get a protection error that states that the author set security that can not be accessed. Interesting, my wife can read it on the screen. Jaws can not get past the protection error even the jaws cursor can not read what my wife sees. How can I get around this. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
