Tom, it is not designed to do that because if it is not a scanned image, it shouldn't require OCR.
If you want to try the scan, you will have to envoke it with the keystrokes.
I suppose someone could write a script to force it, but that could bring some unintended problems and slow things down if it is a large PDF.
But, what do I know, I've only really used Jaws since they killed Window-Eyes.

HTH,
Richard

Bill:

Regarding "recognize with Jaws", I have found that sometimes, if the file is a scanned image file, recognize with Jaws will come up automatically.

In other cases, like the one we are dealing with here, this does not seem to happen.

Does anyone know of a way to get "Recognize With Jaws" to come up automatically for all PDF Documents?

Once again, I'm using the latest build of Jaws 2018 here on this Windows 7 machine.

If you have JAWS 2018, try highlighting the PDF, press either the Applications key or SHIFT plus F10, arrow down to recognize with JAWS, and press ENTER. Wait for a few minutes, and your document should be rendered and readable.

To save the document, open Word, notepad or some other program which will save text, paste from the clipboard into the program, and save. This often gives better results than Acrobat Reader DC.

Hi, Rahul. How are you rendering the pdf document? are you using
Acrobat Reader DC, or are you using the OCR recognition feature of
JAWS to render the document into text? This might have a bearing on
how the document is displayed.

Subject: JAWS Reading Multiple Words Together in PDF Documents

Hi everyone,

I am using JAWS 16 on a Windows 10 machine. Very often, JAWS reads
several words together in a PDF document, which makes it impossible to
figure out what it is saying. Is there a way to fix this, except by
way of converting the document into word?

Best,
Rahul
