[gui-talk] PDF's; Empty Document

[David Andrews]

Usually you get that message because the PDF contains an image, not 
text.  The image could be of text -- but it is a picture of it, not 
the actual letters.  You can OCR the PDF with Kurzweil or Open Book, 
or print out and OCR or have them read to you by a human.a
