Vicki, You can set up Adobe to open PDF files in a separate window from IE, which fellow lister Gerald explained more or less as follows:
In Adobe Reader, go to the Edit menu (alt-e) and arrow up to the Accessibility submenu. Select Set-up Assistant. Control-tab several times. On page 5 of 5, the last page, of the Set-up Assistant is a check box labeled "Display PDF documents in the web browser." It should be unchecked so that the web page is processed directly by Adobe Reader. Mario offered the alternative solution of clicking on "Save target as." I'll add that sometimes this option appears in Firefox when it doesn't in IE11. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Vicki Sent: Monday, July 18, 2016 10:08 AM To: JAWS Subject: [JAWS-Users] opening pdf files on IE webpage Is there a way to stop a pdf file from opening on the webpage, but rather downloading instead? I am using Jaws 14 and 17 with IE 11 and the latest version of Adobe. I have tried entering on the links, using the spacebar, right clicking, using Jaws key and also the context menu, but they all open rather than save the file. There is usually no option to save the file once it is opened as well. Thank you.
