Tim, I guess I don't know what I am looking for. When I opened the file it 
seemed to be in a toolbar. What am I looking for to interact so I can try to 
read. I have not read a document on the Mac yet. I think, though, that it may 
have been a scanned document as I did not recognize anything like I have in 
mail for reading the email. Gosh, I am learning, but the more I learn is the 
more questions and confusion I have. I guess Windows was like that in the 
beginning, but my brain was a whole lot younger then! LOL; Chuckling!

Hi there 
Although you can use an OCR program to OCR a pdf file and read the thing, I 
have had better and more efficient luck with PDF Pen Pro. It OCR's the thing 
and starts reading it very fast. 

Regards,
