Hello Greg, You might want to check preferences by using CTRL K. Pick the Reading category from the list of categories. When you tab a few times you will find "page VS document" and make sure it is set to "Read entire document." You might also go under the accessibility category of options and make sure "enable assistive technology support" is checked. If you make changes in the preferences you should probably close the program and open it again.
Take care.

My wife who is sighted says there are plus and minus signs at the top of the document that she can click on with the mouse and go from page to page in the document. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scorpio Sent: Saturday, September 9, 2017 5:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing pages in a PDF document If you're opening it in the internet temp folder, then I don't think it'll read past that, I think it's a security issue. Try saving the PDF document to your hard drive, into your downloads folder, and open the PDF from there. This should fix it I think, especially if my assessment is what I think it is.

It searches the entire document as far as I can tell.

To the extent I understand anything about PDF files, they need to be properly tagged. What I do in order to get the information I need from untagged financial statements is to figure out what exactly that is. Typically, it's the amount due and the list of transactions, if any. I go directly to the amount due by searching for the $ dollar sign. If I want to read the transactions, I search for a portion of a date. For example, if the statement has a closing date in mid-September, I'll search for the two characters 9/ Since the most recent, and therefore top, transaction probably occurred in September. Naturally if 9/ doesn't work, I substitute 8/. Note. To search in a PDF document, press JAWS key+control+f. I realize this is a workaround, but perhaps it's helpful. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Washington Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2017 8:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing pages in a pdf document Fernando, Thanks so much for responding. Unfortunately neither Control+page down or control+shift+n works on the document I am trying to read. Perhaps it’s control+shift+the way the document was created that is causing the problem. The document is a monthly statement downloaded from my credit card web site. Iam using adobe acrobat reader DC.

To enter a specific page number, press CTRL+SHIFT+N, type the number and press ENTER. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Washington Sent: Friday, September 8, 2017 11:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Changing pages in a pdf document I downloaded a 4 page pdf document and cannot figure out how to change the pages so I can read pages 2,3 and 4.
