Jim if it is not private I an happy to have a look at it for you if you send it off list to the same e-mail address. Eleanor -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Problem with a pdf file. From: "jim" <j_doherty2@xxxxxxx> Date: 06/06/2009 10:10 AM Hi Edward, Thanks for your reply, your probably right about the text in the document being picture based. However, i don't have any ocr software at hand to see if that would convert it, so because it's not a critical document, i'll throw it in the re-cycle bin.

Hi Jim, Could it be a scanned image of a document containing text? If so, you could try putting it through an OCR engine if you have one.

Hello listers, Vista and jaws 9. I have a downloaded pdf file that when adobe reader 8 finishes converting, will not open and I get the message empty document, although I'm sure there's text on the page which it says it as converted page 1 of 25. Can anyone help me to get this pdf file to open and try to explain why it's saying empty document. Thanks.
