Re: [JAWS-Users] opening pdf files on IE webpage
Hello Vicki, If you go into Adobe Reader without a document open and open the accessibility set up assistant under the edit menu, there is an option that allows for customizing accessibility for screen readers. One of the options on step 4 of 4 of this multi-page screen is display documents in the web browser. If you uncheck this box and then tab to and press enter on the done button, any document opened will only display in Adobe reader where it can be viewed if accessible or saved. I hope that helps On 7/18/16, Vickiwrote: > 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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] opening pdf files on IE webpage
Hello another way is to find your PDF in the Links List, Insert F7. Then tab to the button called "Move to link" and press it. Then press Context Key and see if there's an item called Save Target As in the list of options.
