I'm sorry, but shouldn't this be set to single page continuous? That's what I have mine set at.

Press enter and arrow down to "single page view." Actually, if your menu is like mine, you will land on the "single page view" option on opening this submenu. Press enter. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Fernando Gregoire Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2017 12:06 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing pages in a PDF document Hi Greg, When you early said that the hotkeys I mentioned didn't work for you, I thought that you were viewing the document directly in the web browser. However, now that you say that the document is saved in Downloads, you may be opening the document with other program instead of Adobe's one by default. If you're sure to be using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Adobe Reader, perhaps the document was configured to display pages in a special way. In this case, in the View menu, find a sub menu related to pages view (not page navigation) and select Single Page View. I can't give you the exact sub menu name because I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in Spanish and, unlike Microsoft, Adobe hasn't a repository in which to find exact string equivalences and, although there's an option in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC preferences to change UI language, it seem that language packs are only available for enterprises or some kind of subscription. Regarding search in a PDF document, it is done in the way Adrian explained. However, since Adobe's products by default do not render the whole documents to screen readers to avoid excessive RAM and CPU usage, for this to work in the whole document, you first have to press CTRL+SHIFT+5 and, in the dialog which opens, tab to the group of radio buttons and select to read the entire document. When okaying this dialog, the document will start to prepare; when finished, the JAWS search feature will work for the whole document as if this would be a web page. Finally, in the Reading preferences category Brian indicated, you can change, Ammon others, the options which appear in the CTRL+SHIFT+5 dialog, but permanently for all documents. Unless you understand what you're doing, I would'nt recommend to change options here. I personally like to render documents one page at a time even when they're not big (by default documents with less than 50 pages are rendered entirely, and with 50 or more one page at a time; you can change the limit for this consideration as big or small, or turn this calculation completely off) and with single page view despite the one set in each document. Hope it helps somewhat. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Greg Washington Sent: Saturday, September 9, 2017 7:55 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing pages in a PDF document The file is saved in downloads and I can still not get past the first page.

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.

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:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Greg Washington Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2017 8:19 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com 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.
