Steve and others:
I believe there is a compatibility issue between Open Book and
Acrobat reader 7. The reason I think this is because:
1. When I go to Open Book and try to open a PDF file, I get a message
stating that Open Book is looking for Acrobat.exe and that no program is
associated with the file I tried to open.
2. If I use the freedom import printer, I hear the scanner running as
though Open Book is trying to scan a page. Then, I get a message stating
that the page is blank. Personally, I think it is necessary to use Open
Book 5 instead of 7. However, I could be wrong. What does everyone else
think? Thanks.
Eric

Tom,
If you have Open Book or Kurzweil, just set it to look for the PDF file and
it
will convert it for you. More and more pdf files seem to be scanned page
images, rather than a .pdf creation itself.

Yeah, John, I thought of that. ... And, I do think they are scanned
images.
Well, the librarian at the University can convert them into text files for
me, so I may just ask her to do that tomorrow.
That might be the easiest solution.
Thanks for the quick response.
