Hi Lennie & Mark; Below is a note I found dealing with Adobe8. Give this a try, it sure can't hurt.
Short answer: pressing F6 should get you out of the find box and back to the document. Longer answer: When you're using JAWS, the Find feature doesn't work in Adobe Reader or Internet Explorer. JAWS has its own find feature which can be invoked with Control + Insert + F, which has to be used instead. In Internet Explorer, if you try to activate the application's find feature with Control + F, JAWS substitutes its own find feature. In Adobe Reader, Control + F gets the Adobe Reader find feature; you have to remember to use Control + Insert + F instead. Steve Hope this helped. Take care.

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!

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 At 09:38 AM 9/16/2011, you wrote: >Hi > I am using the adobe program for reading documents.
