Hi Anthony, I have never had a look at the version you are running & therefore I wouldn't have a clue as where to look. Your version may not even have such an option. You could tab through every page to take a look but, starting with the General, & Security pages would probably be your best bet. Hopefully someone on the list is running the same program and will have an answer for you. Take care.

In a recent message you said: "> 3.

I'm running Adobe Acrobat X Pro. That item seems not to be under general. Any idea where it might be found? Many thanks.

It worked and I have a folder in my e-mail setup which has the name "instructions folder" which is filling up. Is there an update to Adobe Reader 10.1? And where can I look for it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara In Arcadia" <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Using Adobe Reader to read PDF files > Hi Francis, > > the latest version is Adobe Reader X. > > You need to disable protected view first to get it to work well with > Jaws. > > Do the following: > > 1.
