Hi
I appreciate the insight. It would be nice if there were a quick fix to
this situation with reading PDF documents. My next university class comes
with a PDF textbook.
God bless,
Mark
God Loves you!

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Searching in a PDF
Hi Mark,
I have the same problem as you when searching for something in Adobe
Reader document.
I asked my sighted daughter about this. She told me that what happens
is that when the search item is found, a sighted person can just read
on the page what he/she was searching for and can then continue the
search if it was not what they are looking for by hitting enter again.
So, the only way that I know of is to do a shift tab and then press
escape to get out of the search dialog and then arrow down the page
to find what I was searching for is the correct one, otherwise I must
continue the search.
I know that this method is not easy for us blind folks, but I know of
no other way to do a search in Adobe reader document. Of course, you
can always save the PDF document as a text document and search it
that way to land directly on the search word, but this method doesn't
always work out like if you find the word in a PDF document.
Does anyone else on the list know of a better way?
Take care.
Lennie
