Hi Tom. Did you try to open the pdf file directly from the website, or did you try to right click on it, and save it on your hard disk, before opening it in Adobe Reader?
There is a setting in the Adobe Reader, where you can allow the pdf documents to be opened in the browser, or you can choose to download the pdf document first, and open it in Adobe Reader only, and have the necessary accessability settings in action. The problem with pdf documents is, that the creators can make them as they want, also they can let all the information in the document be shown in a picture, that Jaws cannot read, and they can close the document by security reasons, so the accessability tools that makes jaws able to read the information in the pdf document is'nt available. We are lucky every time when we can get a pdf document that is accessable with Jaws, but it is'nt so every time. Good luck.
