David, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with Adobe Reader 10 and XP.
When the new Adobe Reader came out, I thought I remembered that a number of people with screen readers were having problems getting it to work properly. Then, it seemed that folks were having fewer problems with it. Maybe these were on Win 7 machines or I got it confused with another Adobe product. Maybe more folks running XP will chime in and I'll wait and see if your experience is unique, although I suspect it isn't.

After installing adobe 10x, I tried opening different PDF files, and it just wouldn't happen, so I reverted back to 9. Note, as I indicated, this is my experience, not a definite solution, maybe others got adobe 10x to work on xp. -----Original Message----- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 7:51 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] Upgrading Adobe Reader 9 to 10 Good Morning All, I have Adobe Reader 9.4.3 on my XP Home with SP3 machine and would like to upgrade to version 10 or whatever the latest version is that works with JAWS. JFW 9 and 10 are on the machine and I have a SMA for 11 if necessary. Is the best way of doing it to use check for updates in the Adobe Reader help menu or to uninstall the existing program and to go to the Adobe accessibility site and get version 10 from there? IE 8 and Firefox 3.6.16 are both on the machine. Any downloading and installation tips in addition to trying to keep a close eye out for the pesky Google stuff would be greatly appreciated.
