That's not going to work in this case, because all she is getting in the
document are graphics. She may need to convert the document with OCR
software such as OpenBook. she can also use the services of RoboBraille if
she can upload the document.
I'll include the link for her here.

Another possible way. I did this yesterday. Opened a 245 page PDF. Then
I
selected all using control-A. Then copied and pasted directly into a
blank
Word doc. Then saved the Word Doc under the book title name. Now it
opens
in Word remarkably fast and reads very well. It might be searchable.
Hope
this helps.
I use latest J16, Office and Word 2010 on my I5 Dell laptop.

If you have JAWS 16, have it convert the document for you. Press
insert-spacebar, then the letter o for optical character recognition,
then d for document, and let it run. When JAWS has finished, the
document is not only readable, but it can be copied and saved into
another form, such as Word or text.
good luck!

My office has a program that is supposed to convert pdf documents to
searchable text. The issue is that my sighted colleague said that she
could do a search of this one large document and find different words in
it.
However JAWS just read "graphic" Graphic" and gave me some numbers of the
graphics. I'm wondering what is happening here, does anyone have any
ideas?
Thanks!
