Okay, Tim. Thanks for clarifying this for me.
Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Kilburn Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2017 11:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: A Question About Preview in Sierra Mark, Preview works normally in Sierra as it has in previous versions of the MacOS. Whether a document is text or not, if it was scanned, no pdf reader will be able to read it without OCR actions first. Preview does not have this feature built in, so scanned documents will not be readable by VO. PDFPenPro has the OCR function built in to the reader, but this app is not free. ABBYY Fine Reader can also perform OCR on the document and thus make it readable by VO in Preview. HTH. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Feb 23, 2017, at 12:17, M.

When I tried to read a PDF document, that is clearly text, although the text may have been scanned, all I could get VoiceOver to say was, "New Line." I know there has been some discussion on this in the past year or so but, clearly, I missed something. In the mean time, I'll use either OpenBook on my PC or the K N F B reader on my iPhone.
