Hi,
Excuse me, but now having made Adobe reader work with VoiceOver, I much
prefer Preview! I'd suggest that Mike take a look at Travis Siegel's
Softcon PDF Viewer:
http://homepage.mac.com/windowbridge/
This was basically engineered from an early version of Preview to
support continuous
reading. It doesn't have some of the newer features of Preview -- for
example, I like to
use bookmarking to go back to documents I frequently consult. It also
looks as though
Preview will be expanding its support of embedded links, from the
hooks that are in the
current version and the capabilities of the Mac's print to PDF
function from a web page.
(I mean that when I make a PDF by printing a web page on the Mac, and
use the current
Preview to read it, clicking on items that were links on the web page
get activated in
Safari to navigate, download, etc., although these links are not
labeled -- this doesn't
happen in Softcon PDF viewer).
Still, for what Mike wants, Softcon PDF Viewer is the best solution.
Make sure to
interact before you start reading. Otherwise, if you stop after
reading your hundred
pages or so, you'll find that you've lost your place!
Cheers,
Esther

Hi Mike and all,
with both adobe reader and preview, you can read an entire document by
having the Mac read it aloud to you rather than using voice over to
read it.
In adobe reader, you can set your page layout to continuous which
may allow
you to read an entire document from start to finish depending on how
the
document is formatted.
So to answer your question, preview and adobe reader are all their
is but
there is also something else you can do with both of them, you can
create
text documents of your pdfs.

Subject: A Voice Over accessible PDF reader other than Adobe
Hi all:
As I'm a new convert to the Mac World, running 10.5 Leopard, does
anyone know of a PDF reader accessible with VO other than Adobe?
I'd like to be able to read entire documents with out having to press
keys to read subsequent pages every 2MIN or so as I have to do in
Preview or Adobe.
TNX All:
Mike
