I am new at this app too, but try this. Do, control, alt., V choose file,
then tab to method choose OCR tab to OK then you will get an open file
dialog find the file and open it. You may get a message to go to Windows
components to turn on TIFF Ifliter.

Subject: Virtual View 5.0: what's this garbage?
I have a pdf called Tension_Chart.pdf, which is basically a document that
tells the amount of stress each of, I think, the D-Addario strings puts on
a
guitar at standard tuning. First, I tried opening the pdf in Adobe Acrobat
DC and pressing Control-Alt-V, then selecting focused window and OCR.
Virtual View processed something, and, all I got for my trouble was the
title bar and menu bar. So I closed VV and re-opened it, this time
selecting
active window. Again, VV displayed only the title bar and menu bar.
Finally,
I closed Adobe and pressed Alt-Print Screen, then selected the
Tension_Chart.pdf. Here is what I ended up with.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

e.InnerException? False
I had read in another email that TIF must be enabled in Windows programs
and
features as well. So I did that. If that's true, shouldn't that be
mentioned
somewhere in the VV installation notes? BTW. I opened the WE control panel
and browsed the File> Factory Settings dialog to see if there was any
additional information about Virtual View. Virtual View is not even listed
there.
I'm using Win 7 64-bit and WE 9.1.
I agree with the sentiment of the other list member who asserted that the
information for Virtual View is just too techie. For example, the require
UAC check box. I guess that means require User Account Control, but why is
that important to have as an option? Those 4 method radio buttons. For one
thing, what is method? I remember that script writers have three
characters
of objects to consider: properties, methods, and something else I can't
recall. In the case of these radio buttons, does method mean mode? If so,
can that group of radio buttons be re-labeled to mode?
As for the radio buttons themselves. Option 1: clips. What is that and how
is it used? UIA. I'm assuming User Interface something. What does that
stand
for and how is it used? The bottom most radio buttn: Version. What is that
and how is it used?
I don't mind a bit of trial and error, but I become discouraged when two
of
my trials produce the exact same results.
On a related note. Why, after several versions of Window-Eyes and Adobe,
is
a WE user still unable to access the text of a pdf with the mouse?
