Hi Casey, well, recently I've read an article which says the computer security experts are starting to look at Adobe reader as a security problem, because it allows programs to run on your pc, called adobe reader plug-ins, which can be used to spread malware, and which go undetected because they're assumed to be a part of adobe reader and/or part of a pdf.
it's not clear how much of a threat this really is, and how much it may become now that the idea is being widely talked about, but you can avoid adobe plug-ins and probably make things easier for you, but using a utility to convert pdf files to some other format such as text files. the utility I have in mind is a free one from Jamal Mazrui, named pdf2txt, which can be downloaded from empowermentzone.com, and which is designed for easy use by screen reader users. unless you've got an unusual situation, such as a copy protected pdf, or one where you must fill out a form or click on hyperlinks contained within it, why not try this to convert it to a text file. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission [email protected] (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Casey [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 11:21 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: the best adobe reader to get > > Hi okay since this fox it reader doesn't have the best > support wo work with > window eyes. > Then it looks like I will have to get adobe reader again. > So then witch is the best version of adobe reader to get for > pdf documents > and that will work with window eyes and what is the best way > to set it up > and install it? > So that it all works nicely together. > > Casey > > If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original > sender only.
