Dave, In the meantime, one possibility is to set the Adobe reading options to be sure it reads by page. This can be a pain because you have to do a CONTROL PGDN at the end of each page and the Window-Eyes search only works within that page, but it means that at the very worst, you will be returned to the top of the current page instead of to the top of the entire document.
