Nope. JAWS 15 does not have the extra feature to specifically OCR on PDF files in Adobe. Need JAWS 16 to use the "D" command in Convenient OCR. And it works very well.

But in this case...there wasn't any info to read after it was processed. I do have J/16, just been lazy in installing it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Carlson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 1:24 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR on PDF Trish, In addition to the Openbook suggestion, if you have JAWS 16, you can simply press the JAWS+Spacebar and then the letter O for OCR and then the letter D for PDF. The convenient OCR will recognize the page, and it's pretty fast. Then in the OCR viewer window, you can select all with Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C to copy. Paste into Notepad to save the text. Very convenient.

Well, I need Jaws to read this PDF, I ran the OCR and it's suppose to be a doc file, but even though I was hopeful hearing Adobe processing the pages, Jaws didn't read it. Now what? Plan 2..send it to my son to convert hopefully,lol 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/ 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/
