I'll try that.

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.

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.
Vicki
