Hi, Kathy. I can’t offer a solution to your PDF problem. Also, I don’t know what antivirus program you are using. However, temporarily disabling antivirus or spyware programs can help solve problems with other software. Upon re-enabling, you may only have to change a setting or two. Sometimes, an antivirus or antispywre program may be flagging a program or file that is perfectly safe or even necessary for your system to work properly. You may need to exclude a particular file. The time needed to disable any program may only be for a few minutes or until you restart your computer. Hope this helps.

I get around it by saving to my general folder in Kurzweil1000 and reading that way, but how can I read them like I could before? I don't know what to change the security to. When I called Microsoft Accessibility the rep wanted me to disable my antivirus program; I didn't, and ended the call. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Rod Hutton Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2014 6:53 PM To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Subject: Re: reading a pdf file Hi Jed, There's quite a bit to know about navigating PDFs, but some of the highlights are that they are fairly easily navigable using Adobe Reader X. You move to next and previous pages using Control-PageUp and Control-PageDown, respectively. While on a page you read the text as you would a web page, that is, using browse mode. Also, Adobe Reader X has its own search function initiated using Control-Shift-F, and, since this is also a Window-Eyes keystroke, you must press Insert-B in order to pass it to Adobe Reader X. hth, Rod If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
