Sometimes you will be faked out because you have set the Acrobat reader to
display one page at a time and the first page is a sort of cover sheet with
no text on it.  Try going to the next page with ctrl-PgDn if it is loading
in single pages.  Also try the various menu items which can tell you about
the properties and security settings of the document.

> Hi, all.

> This is currently a question that pertains to some documents I need for a

> applications as well.
> 
> I seem to be unable to open PDF files with Jaws 7.0.
> 
> Every time I try accessing a file, Jaws says something like "alert page
> empty".
> 
> I am telling Jaws to read the inferred order from the file.
> 
> I don't recall having this problem with PDF files before.
> 
> It has happened to me twice just today.
> 
> Is it likely that Jaws isn't recognizing the PDF files for some reason?
> 
> These PDF files are either coming from e-mails that have been sent to me,
> or
> from relevant web sites.
> 
> Any help with this PDF issue would be appreciated.
