All I can say is that sometimes, reading a document by page may be
preferable, as loading a large document can take time and may be sluggish.
You can move page by page, or go to a specific page in the document.
Changing the web setting is definitely preferable.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Need help with Adobe Reader DC
Thanks to everyone who responded. I did get the solution in a private
email. Here's what worked:
Click the accessibility setup assistant. In the setup assistant do the
following: click next until you find read single page... set this to
read entire document. then click next until you see open in web browser
and uncheck it. then click next and finally finish.
Both of these items needed adjustment. The values above were not the
defaults.
I can now read my document, but it did take quite a while to load the
document. It's over 100 pages. Then, as I arrowed down through the
document, it seemed a little sluggish. Not snappy like reading a web
page or text document in Notepad. Is this normal for a PDF document?
Thanks,
Jeff

I've just located David Whitehead's instructions for making Adobe Reader X
accessible. I can't be sure, but I think they also apply to Adobe DC. I'll
copy them below. But first, a friend wrote the following off-list:
One note on your suggestion: If you do get that dialog (when Adobe opens a
PDF file) and check to use the current settings for the future, the choice
will not be presented the next time. Or at least that's what I get with
Adobe Acrobat.
Now to David Whitehead's instructions:
1, Open adobe,
2, press ctrl+k (preferences),
3, now press the letter "g"'general,
4, now tab and Uncheck, Enable Protected Mode at startup.
You need to change another setting so, tab until you have General
highlighted again.
5. With General highlighted, press the letter I, until you have Internet
highlighted.
6. Tab to, Display PDF in browser, if this box is checked press the
spacebar to uncheck it.
7. Tab to the okay button, press enter to close preferences & save your
changes, & press Alt + F4 to close Adobe.

Yes, JAWS's convenient OCR is probably the simplest way of handling this
problem. but I'm wondering why nothing was spoken. Typically, I get an
Adobe dialog asking how I want the PDF file made readable. I click on my
choice and wait. Sometimes the document is read, sometimes I'm told it's
"blank."
Jeff, did you set up Adobe Reader for accessibility? If not, open
Adobe/Acrobat and press control-k. JAWS will verbalize "Accessibility"
right away. Go from there.

You can also do d for document which would work for those image documents.

convert to text.
Try the Jaws convenient OCR Insert-space, then O, then W for Window or
S for screen or C for image.

Based on a suggestion from the Win10 list, I just installed Adobe
Reader DC on my Windows 10 (1703) computer. I'm using JAWS 18 latest
version.
I open a PDF document, but I can't figure out how to make it read.
Arrowing up and down just says blank or it's completely silent.
Tabbing just says tab, but no text is spoken. What am I doing wrong?
How do I get JAWS to read a PDF document?
Jeff
