Hello Friends,
I never receive many PDF Files, and the ones I do are usually advertising,
so I never bother with them.
I am sorry if this question sounds stupid, but instead of worrying about
Adobe which I have not really had any success with for years, if I ever
receive anything important, can I simply print out the PDF file, and scan it
with Open Book?
I mean, there is an option to print out the PDF file correct?
Once again, I apologize if this is off the wall, just never had any luck
with using Adobe .
I am a pretty lame JAWS user!
Even though I have been using it for 11 years now!
With Best Regards,
Alan

2, press the alt-key, right arrow to edit,
now up arrow and enter on,

Hi Guys,
I am very new to JAWS, so I apologise in advance for my lack of knowledge.
I have been sent a PDF form and have been assured that it is accessible
and
can be completed and then printed off.
I have never opened a PDF on Windows before as I am generally a Mac user,
but sadly VoiceOver on the Mac does not play nicely with Adobe products.
I opened the PDF in Adobe Acrobat 10 and the version of JAWS is 11.
Should
the PDF start reading automatically? I have tabbed around and also hit
the
arrow keys, but nothing seems to happen.
I can get the application menus to work, but I can't seem to get JAWS to
speak anything on the 7 page document. I have enough sight to see that it
is not a blank page.
Do I have to do anything specific with a interactive form? Or is there a
keyboard shortcut I am not pressing to tell JAWS to start reading the PDF?
Many thanks in advance and if anyone would rather discuss this off list,
then feel free to email me.
Chris
