about using the Freedom Printer function in Open Book, and this, and that?

It could be a "pdf" made of page images, which need to be OCR'ed.

 Hi,

 Usually, when I encounter a .pdf file, I can click on it and have it open
 and become readable with Adobe Reader. I have the latest version, if I
 remember correctly, and it set itself up to interact with Jaws when I
 installed it.

 But with this file, when I try to open it, I get the Adobe interface screen
 (I can see this happening) but, within a few seconds after I hear the usual
 message that Adobe's preparing the document for reading, a message comes on
 saying Warning! Empty document.

 Warning? This is like a terrorist problem or something? Anyway, I'm sure
 it's not an empty (does that mean blank?) document to the person who sent 
it
 to me. Why is Adobe saying it's empty, now?

 I'm I composed this message as a forward in order to retain the .pdf file
 attachment, but I just realized it'll be stripped out of the email as the
 message is distributed. Oh, well. So if anyone more experienced than me
 would like to try their hand at opening the file so they can help me figure
 out how to handle an impasse like this, just write me at
 jdeutsch at dslextreme.com, and I'll gladly send the file as I meant to do 
here
 to begin with.

 thankss a lot.
