what pdfs are you trying to read? I find that hiding the toolbars and using the bab key and vo keys with arrows to get around works fairly well. I also find that I don't really need adobe reader because most documents I need to read work fine or better in preview.

I've just downloaded it and have been struggling with it although it promises to work with assistive technology all right. It seems to configure itself for the assistive technology but I am still not able to read pdf documents with it. I used to use Acrobat a lot under Windows especially that it has a facility for saving pdf documens in text format which Preview does not seem to hve. It's also useful when it comes to reading pdf docs on the web. Let me have your thoughts on the subject, please. Simon Cavendish
