Hi Margaret, Below are the steps for setting Adobe to work with Jaws.
Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the consequences of unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say. 1. Go into preferences with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree view. If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below "Security." Then uncheck these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck but, optional: Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked. Enable Enhanced Security, does not need to be unchecked. Note. When making changes in the Security Enhanced section, you will be told that Adobe needs to be restarted, but you can wait to finish the other changes first. 2. Launch the Edit menu, scroll down to the Accessibility submenu and open it. Scroll down to the Set-up Assistant and press enter. The Set-Up Assistant has five screens, but the only change you have to make is on the last, screen 5 of 5. Go through all the screens, pressing spacebar on "Next" in each instance, until you reach the fifth and final screen. Here, tab to the check box labeled "Display PDF documents in the web browser" and make sure it is unchecked. It may be checked by default. Then tab to the Okay button. Take care.

The document should only be one or two pages. I had to re-install the program several days ago when there was a security update and I got an error when I tried to do it from within the menu and the trouble shooting from Adobe said to re-install. I did and thought I had followed the steps to make Adobe Reader work with screen readers, but may have messed up. I thought the program used to say something about infer reading order from setup or some such and there was a start button that needed to be pressed and a message that the screen reader would be silent while processing takes place. There was none of that with this document and it just says processing. My e-mail client is Thunderbird 17.0.6 and I've tried the procedure with both JAWS 14 and Window-Eyes 8.2 on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium machine. Should I just re-install Adobe Reader or has anyone seen this behavior with the update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
