Hi, A technicality I’m sure, but, the original assertion stands, no screen reader can read the image. If OCR is performed on the image, then any screen reader, be it JAWS, Window Eyes, NVDA VoiceOver or even the old fashioned OUtSpoken for Mac could read it. One person going through the effort of properly posting or creating their pdf makes less work for thousands of users after the fact.

I should know, I just tried. -eric On Mar 27, 2015, at 2:46 AM, Steve Nutt wrote: > Hi, > > You said no screen reader can read them. This is incorrect.
