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

[Joel Deutsch]

Nick,

As I think I mentioned, Ray was kind enough to do this for me already. But 
first of all, thanks anyway, and second, please tell me which kind of 
software you would have used, yourself. Thanks. I have Open Book, which I 
understand has this sort of capability, but I have to learn the technique.

Thanks.

No.  But if you send it to me, I'll OCR it!

 Nick,

 Maybe that's it. Oh, God. does that mean I have to learn this whol thing
 about using the Freedom Printer function in Open Book, and this, and that?
 I'll bet anything you're a Kurzweill person and wouldn't know. Or do you?

 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.
