Re: JAWS and .pdf

Marquette, Ed <Ed.Marquette@...>
I get about 3 or 4 of these a day. Someone has scanned a document to PDF using a "scan to image" setting. This means that, to sighted users, it looks like a normal PDF document. Only someone with an experienced eye can tell the difference; however, if a sighted user tries to highlight and copy text, that user will discover there is something wrong. There is no text -- just a series of page images.

You can use OpenBook, OmniPage, PDF converter, or any one of I don't know how many OCR packages to convert these images to text with your degree of success depending on the clarity of the scan.

Subject: RE: JAWS and .pdf Hello there; No, I highly doubt the pdf document is blank. There's probably text up on the screen, however, jaws is seeing the pdf as a graphic, thus, Blank document. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@lists.the-jdh.com [mailto:jfw-bounces@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Dave Durber Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 4:40 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: JAWS and .pdf Could the "empty Document" message in Adobe programs be coming from JAWS instead of Adobe. Because there is no text information in the document, JAWS thinks the document is blank, when in fact, it is not. Which is why JAWS is giving the empty document message.

attempt to convert the text contained within the graphics into speech best on web page graphics, not document graphics.
