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

[Joel Deutsch]

Nick,

Oh, that's right. I forgot. But I already said something like that I thought 
you probably were using Kurzweill, and I thought you said no. Well, never 
mind. I understand now.

I'm Senior Support Engineer for K1000 and have worked with it before there 
was a version 1, back from Aug. 1996--so, it's probably pretty apparent... 
(grin)

 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.
