a small utility free pdf to word converter may solve the problem. or you have to install the accessible version of adobe reader. if higher version is not available, switch to lower version with accessibility.

Subject: [AI] problem in reading PDF document


Dear Access Indians,

Could you please be kind enough to help me in solving the below mentioned problem.

A company at Cochin is ready to employ few of my students. They are using a software called "Hotsoft". JAWS is working with out much difficulty in that. But their final report is in PDF format. Using Adobe reader 9 I could read it completely. the problem is that the report contains data arranged in a tabular format. Even though it is arranged in a tabular format there is no table actually. While trying to use a table command it says "not in a table". JAWS is not reading the data properly in the order in which it is arranged in the document. I tried to read using PC cursor, JAWS cursor and invisible cursor. Some times it reads the data arranged in the columns in the reverse order. That is while using down arrow we can hear the column heading of the last column and by pressing down arrow again it reads the second last column heading. To a visually challenged person it is really difficult to findout the needed information from that document. Is there any solution to the problem. If you can help me in solving the problem that will help at least 2 VI people to become employed and financially independent. I have a copy of that PDF file but as it is not possible to sent attachment I am helpless to send. Those who want to see the real problem that I am facing please be kind enough to ask me I will surely send you that file.



Expecting a good solution from you.

Yours sincerely,



Sumesh k S
