Hi Danny.

That occurs because the document contains an image rather than text.  You 
will have to run it through some type of OCR engine before you can read 
it.  If you have the Kurzweil K1000 or Open Book 7 or 8, you should be able 
to do it with those.  Both packages include a dummy print driver that you 
print the Adobe document to from inside Adobe Reader and then they do OCR 
on it.  The Open Book one is called the Freedom Import Printer, I can't 
remember what Kurzweil calls theirs.

If you don't have one of those programs, you'll have to either send it to 
someone to convert it, or try to find one of the document converters that 
OCR the file as part of the conversion process.  I haven't had very good 
luck unfortunately with the Premier conversion utilities.
