  No, that was the problem. Every other I have used the database the PDF would just open, but not this time. I tried to save it, but didn't get the article. Finally, I did figure it out, but if I wouldn't have some sight I would have been up the creek, because as usual, the paper is due tomorrow. And of course, when I read the stupid article it wasn't as good as the abstract sounded. Oh well, I think I have enough resources now, so hopefully the actual writing will come as easy as anticipated.

  Yvonne,

  Are you able to save the pdf file directly to your computer?  If
  so, then you can open kurzweil and open it through the program.
  That' the way I do it and never have any problems.

  Let me know if this doesn't work.

  Hi Sara and everyone,



  I am trying to save a PDF and for some reason the database must
  have changed
  because I can't figure it out. I tried to do the Kurzweil
  printer, but got
  an error saying something about it is not set up to scroll. Does
  anyone know
  how I can find and change the settings for the virtual printer? I
  went
  through all the menu bars and didn't see anything, and I think
  Kurzweil is
  closed.

  Thanks for any help you can offer,

  Yvonne

  Hi Yvonne,



  There are 2 ways to read them with Kurzweil.



  1.  With the pdf file open, just hit control P to print.  When
  the print
  dialogue box appears, choose the printer "Kezi virtual printer."
  Kurzweil
  will open and begin recognizing the document.



  2. Have the pdf file closed. Open Kurzweil and then simply open
  the pdf file
  within the Kurzweil program by going to Kurzweil's File>open.
  It'll open
  and Kurzweil will recognize it.



  Sarah

  Hi everyone,



  I have heard of a way to read PDF's that say empty document with
  Kurzweil. I
  think someone even gave me directions once, but I can't find them
  now when I
  need them. So, can someone please tell me how to read these
  PDF's?



  Thanks,

  Yvonne
