Hi Susie and all, Actually, JAWS and Adobe 7 work quite well with most files. If they don't work, it is usually that the PDF file is saved as an image rather then the fault of JAWS. I read a lot of Tech manuals, I red them with JAWS in PDF format, and if I want to carry them along with me to work or school, save them to text and read them on the BrailleNote.

JAWS can't read it because JAWS doesn't work with most PDF files. As has been suggested here, if you want JAWS to read it, save it as text in Adobe Acrobat and then read the text version with JAWS, or in your BrailleNote, or whatever.

This is a little off topic, but if I have Adobi and Jaws, why can't I get Jaws to read it. Jaws will print it. Printing is the main reason I nead it, but yesterday, I thought two screans were overlapping so I tried to read the file before printing for my bos. Nothing came up in braille or in Jaws. thankfully the print out was fine.

You need the Acrobat reader to read Acrobat files. I do not know if there is a version of the reader for Windows CE, but even if there was, it wouldn't run on the Braillenote. You need a real PC for this task.

Hi folks, Forgive me if you need to tell me to read the list of file types. I'll understand if that's the case. i'm wondering if the BN BT 18 with KeySoft 6.1 can read Adobe Acrobat files. My boss has a list of things that we have to get rid of from our store. She's going to do a "store wide sale on selected items". The list is about 4 pages in print, I'd hate to have to retype the whole thing, if you know what I mean. These are items apparently that are so rarely bought that they've been there since 2003 and not sold since not long after the store opened. Anyhow, if this is possible, how does one go about it? NO matter the file type, she's going to put in the new price in the file by the item, so we'll know what to change the price to. I hope i've made sense here.
