That works for scanned images of PDFs. Now, for the file itself. Still use the JAWS key, and o for the OCR. However, press’s f for file. Of course, you can’t do this when the file’s open but closed and on your computer’s hard drive somewhere, documents, maybe. After you wait until all the OCR results are there, you can “Open in Word …” that’s at the bottom of the result page, and it works really well … at least for me.

I always have trouble reading more than a single page in a PDF, I've tried control page down, which I always thought was to advance to the next page, but that doesn't ever work.

Sometimes I can just arrow down line by line, but mostly it stops on the page I originally opened.

Is there a guide somewhere for working with PDF files?

I typically just convert them to TXT because of the hassles of trying to read them over the years.

Thanks.

And if you need to scan it, then JAWS Key and O, then D.

 

All the best

Molly,

Also, don't discount the fact that it's possible that the PDF is image scanned, and may need to be OCRed.  Rare, yes, but unheard of, no.
