Now, sometimes I cannot convert to OCR an image PDF document

Bill White <billwhite92701@...>
 

Hi, Mario. When you "run" a file, you are running it online from Freedom Scientific instead of having the file yourself. If there should be a glitch on the Internet, you may end up with a file which did not install correctly.

Another reason you want to keep the JAWS installation file on your computer, even after installing it is, when you need to repair JAWS, you need to run the exact version of the installation file you used to install JAWS. If they update JAWS, and you don't yet want to update your version, you won't be able to repair your copy of JAWS on your computer.

I agree with Bill, but I'm curious as to why? hoping to get explanations
from any listers.

No, this is not correct. I always download the latest update from
Freedomscientific.com, and click on the installation file in the
downloads folder.

if you're wanting to install 2019, I think the offline installer will
have the OCR component included. make sure you save the offline installer.

from, mack so, any time I do a jaws update, I should click on the link and choose run. I should never try to install a jaws update from my downloads folder? is this correct?

It sounds like you installed JAWS when offline.

 

Try running the installer again and repairing it.  It won’t install the OCR components when offline correctly.

 

All the best

Hello List,

 

There are two ways to use the Jaws OCR to convert an image PDF file.

I have noticed a change when trying one way, the other still works.

 

I recently had to switch to a new hard disk. This meant I had to download and install: Windows 10 version 1809, the latest Jaws 2019 and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC v19.10.200.

 

Before this complete upgrade, I could open a PDF image file either as a Thunderbird attachment or by pressing ENTER on the PDF file in the directory tree. There was then a Yes/No prompt for Jaws to do the OCR of the document.

 

Now, there is no “alert empty document” message nor is there the prompt to do the OCR.

 

I get the Virtual cursor. It is a blank window but the Jaws plus page-down command gives: Start free trial.

 

When I turn off the Virtual cursor and start the OCR with

  Jaws plus space bar then o.

 

Pressing “d” (for a document), I get: OCR failed to start.

Pressing “w” (for a window), gives me the OCR converted text.

 

The PDF document is converted but,

On the right of some lines are these statements:

   Create PDF

   Edit PDF

   With Acrobat Pro DC

   Start free trial

 

The second way to convert PDF to text, still works. Highlight the PDF file in the directory tree or File Explorer,

the applications key has:    select “convenient OCR with Jaws”.

 

When I do an OCR of the window, the PDF and Pro DC message share the window. This seems to prevent Jaws from converting the PDF document.

 

How do I get rid of the start free trial with Acrobat Pro DC?

 

Thanks,

Peter T.

Well, this sounds like the same problem I had a while back after an upgrade of either jaws or adobe.  Go into preferences in adobe, to enhanced security and disable theprotected mode at startup.
