Try saving the document as text only from the File menu and you might get something you can work with Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 09 March 2009 14:25 To: Access-UK Subject: [access-uk] Problems reading PDF When I try to read a PDF document with JAWS 9, it is recognising no spaces between the words, hence it is impossible to hear properly what is being read. Anyone any ideas why this is happening and what to do about it?
