Yes, it is a victory!! In my version of windows 7 at the hospital, I found that PDF Creator was there. After adding it to my printers, I was able to print the tiff files with the pdf creator and then JAWS would conveniently ask me if I wanted to OCR. Doing things this way got JAWS to ocr all of the pages in the files. It was great!
Have fun!

You have given me some ideas of things to try. Fernando, I can't remember is there a facility in Windows 7 to print to PDF? I forgot to mention that the hospital is still using windows 7 machines. I have found that the JAWSS OCR on files is pretty good, but I struggle with the output from the OCR on screens or windows. I find that trying to read that output is messy! Thanks!

As a workaround, however, you could save the file as PDF by using a virtual printer, such as the one included with Foxit Reader (this software is comparably accessible as Adobe Reader and easier to create basic things) or the one built into Windows 10, called Microsoft Print to PDF. In my experience, JAWS has no problem recognizing a PDF file with multiple pages. Hope it helps! 2018-06-21 12:06 GMT-03:00 Debby <dm-h...@comcast.net>: > Hello, > > > > At the hospital where I volunteer faxes are stored in the voice mail > system. > There is a program to retrieve the fax images.
