[gui-talk] need help to open a difficult .pdf file

[Joel Deutsch]

Hello,

Nick says the same thing, but I don't know what it means to "use OCR" on it. 
Now, I have a scanner and I use Open Book, but that certainly can't apply, 
in this case, because I don't have anything printed to lay on the scanner. 
So we're talking about something else to do with OCR technology?

Thanks.

If you run the accessibility quick check it suggests that the file may
be a scanned document (it is).  If you have Acrobat you can use OCR on
it to get some access.
