If you are having trouble in reading a PDF, and reading is all you want to do,
try converting it by going to
http://www.robobraille.dk
Useful website for converting between numerous file formats, and you can even
have the document turned into an audiofile. The website is fully accessible,
being run by a school for the blind. Don't despair, even if the website ends
with DK (for denmark). The text is all in English. :)

Sandra,
Adobe Reader is a free product to allow you to read PDFs. Acrobat, on the
other hand, is a commercial product which also allows you to create PDFs.

Steve

Greetings,
With the latest Adobe Reader, it is imperative that you disable its
protected mode options as this will render all PDFs inaccessible in Windows XP.
You can find the relevant options by opening Adobe's preferences dialog with
Control-K, going to the "security enhanced" tree view item, and unchecking the
protected mode check boxes. Once you restart Adobe Reader, you should be able
to read your documents again-- assuming that they were authored correctly.
Regards,
Steve

Hi all,
My husband just had to practically rebuild my computer after it got
the fbi virus! It was terrible! I had to get a new hard drive. Fortunately all
of my files were saved. But, all of my special programs were gone. Now I can't
read anything in pdf or Adobi. My husband says that I don't need any special
Adobi program, because accessibility is built into the Adobi reader. I don't
think that is true. If I do need a certain Adobi program, what do I need that
will both work for the blind and work well with Window Eyes? Thanks.
Paulette
