I strongly urge everybody to make sure they are using the latest version of Adobe Reader (7.0.5 I believe). Probably the most convenient way to do this is to bring up Adobe Reader, go to the "Edit Menu" and select "Preferences." Then find the "Updates" item in the resulting tree list and select the options as you choose except that I recommend you select to update at start up item in that particular dialog box. The most recent version of Adobe Reader is light years ahead of the version that was current just last year.
And even though you may have the most recent version of Adobe Reader, there may still be many documents that cause difficulties. Saving as text is one option, but I've had the experience in the past that doing this just may result in information out of place -- as if it were inserted into the document after an initial draft or something like that. Another problem is that a PDF document just may contain a photograph of a hardcopy document. In these cases Adobe Reader is pretty much useless to those of us that must rely on screen reading software. I happen to have Kurzweil 1000 so when I cannot read a PDF document that confuses content or I suspect to have been a photo-copy I opt to have it printed via the KESI Virtual Printer whereupon Kurzweil can then read the document to me. I don't know if Open Book has such a feature, but this does work quite well.
