I'm going to get the cheer-leaders down on my ass for this email I
just know, but this is yet another area where the screen-reader
companies have propagandized,
and is
a major pain in the posterior in general even under the best circumstances.
That is the doc is tagged correctly,
formatted correctly,
and everything being right, you might get lucky and get a 95 percent
conversion with exstra characters here and there.
If you got charts and pics, forget it, it sucks.
I don't even bother with adobee, that bloated,
unstable piece of junk, I have some command line utilities I throw at
a pdf if I need to read it,
and sometimes they work, actually more often than adobe does,
but pdf is another failure for us,
in general, and I try and avoid it whenever possible.
There are a number of pdf tools floating around in the corners of the
internet if you look,
which can help, I think our good friend jamal has one over at the
empowerment zone,
but it's really disgusting, everything is pdf these days,
welcome to the wonderful world of increasing accesss,
who's been smoking what 'grin'?

manual for a product I would like to buy. The problem is, it's a secured
pdf document and I cannot read it. Why do they do things like this?

Is your adobe reader set to the accessibility settings?
If it is, you won't need the mouse pad.

Good afternoon,
I have to deal with more and more PDF docs. While the brows mode is very
useful in finding info written in the documents with the find feature. I
have a problem.
These documents I have to deal with are not very well laid out. Why can
the mouse not be used in adobe? I could do much better interpreting of
my particular docs if I could use the mouse to move directly up and down
once the text was found if the mouse could follow the brows curser.
As it is the mouse only reads the top and bottom of the adobe window and
not the doc itself.
Am I just missing something?
Thanks for any suggestions
Shannon
