Hi David, It is possible that the PDF simply contains a scanned copy of the manual, and so there is not actually any convertible text in it. We hit this problem quite often with the braille bureau.

I have just downloaded a piece of hobby software which has a 242 page =2EPdf manual which I don't seem to be able to read with acrobat 5, jaws 5.0.621. I am sure that I have read pdf files previously with this combination. Any help welcomed?
