Okay, how do you download the file; not sure I recognize the extension. Is it accessible, and what platforms does it work on?

If that is enabled, you should, at least, get VoiceOver to announce that it is a document with text on it. Otherwise, apps like Acrobat DC or PDFPen can do the OCR for you.

When I invoked the text recognition command, it reported no image description available. Was the Full N an app? Does this mean I can perform OCR on a pdf as can be done with Acrobat? Actually, in Windows, I used the Jaws facility to extract text that was identified as an empty document. My work space may not accommodate a scanner, so I would like to use software in these instances. Thanks.

Interact with the page you wish to read and the text will be read by VO. If it requires OCR, you can try pressing VO-shift-l to see if VO will read it to you. If VO-shift-l does not work, first make sure that VoiceOver Recognition is enabled in the VoiceOver Utility, then try again. If it still doesn’t work for you, you may need to use full on OCR like in Acrobat DC.
