Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR on PDF: Open instead directly through Openbook
Tim, I think the lady was pointing out earlier that not everyone has Open Book due to its relatively high purchase cost. For the record, I'm with you regarding the Freedom Import Printer. It should work as advertised but quite often, there are indeed problems with it.

Do you have 16 yet? There's been a lot of chatter about the new PDF capabilities, and they're really worth talking about. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Trish Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 11:10 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR on PDF: Open instead directly through Openbook Thanks for sharing your method.
