Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I tried to access a very
large PDF document using JAWS 6.1 and Acrobat 7; but without using the JAWS
cursor I couldn't see any text. With the JAWS cursor, I saw 1 of x
)pages), but nothing else. I tried converting the file to text, but it
saved a file with 0K. I never got the message that the file was a graphic
image; but for lack of what else to try, I tried printing the file via the
Freedom Import printer that comes with OpenBook. It went through the pages
and gave me percentages of the file that were being printed - or so I
thought; but never having used this feature before, I didn't really know
what to expect. It then opened OpenBook, but all that said was "no pages."
I tried closing OpenBook and got the message that a job was being
cancelled. I ended up having to reboot the computer because JAWS became
unloaded, and even after I reloaded it, it wasn't reading things
correctly. Should I have given the system more time to convert the
file? Does the converted file open up in OpenBook? As I say, I've never
used this feature in OpenBook so don't even know what I'm looking
for. When I was choosing the Freedom Import printer in the Print dialogue
from within Acrobat, should I have checked Print To File? Has anyone ever
seen this problem with a PDF file where there doesn't seem to be any text,
regardless of which page you look at?
Thanks for any help you can provide me.
