Hi Volly, Try the following. These steps are for AdobeX / 10.
the latest version is Adobe Reader X. You need to disable protected view first to get it to work well with Jaws. Do the following: 1. From either your desktop or start menu, press enter on Adobe. The Adobe window is now open, press control + K, to open preferences. Another way to get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press Alt + E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences, & press enter. 3. When preferences opens you will be in a tree view and should be on the General page, if not arrow up or down until you have General highlighted. It is #4 of 29. Tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode at startup, uncheck it, choose yes on the warning you will get to continue. You need to look at 2 more settings so, tab until you have General highlighted again. 4. With General highlighted, press the letter I, until you have Internet highlighted. 5. Tab to, Display PDF in browser, if this box is checked press the spacebar to uncheck it. 6. Tab to connection speed combobox, arrow up / down for the setting that best matches your Internet Providers speed. 7. Tab to the okay button, press enter to close preferences & save your changes, & press Alt + F4 to close Adobe. If I have missed something or if there is something that should be added, would someone please jump in & correct me?! Hope this helps. Take care. Mike From: Gerald Levy Adobe Reader 10 works fine with JAWS as long as you configure it right. The tricky part is the Accessibility Set-Up Assistant which is automatically invoked when you install Adobe Reader. In previous versions of Adobe Reader, there was no need to change any settings in the Set-Up Assistant. However, in Adobe Reader 10, on the last page of the Set-Up Assistant, there is a check box labeled "Open PDF Files in the Browser" which is checked by default. This check box must be unchecked or you may have problems getting JAWS to read the PDF file. In previous versions of Adobe Reader, this check box was unchecked by default. Who knows why Adobe made this change, but it drove me crazy for hours until I finally figured out that this was why I was having trouble with JAWS reading PDF files. Gerald From: Adi Kushnir Hi, the latest version is Adobe Reader X. You need to disable protected view first to get it work well with JFW9. I have boath JFW 9 and 11 installed and It works great. I'm using the Hebrew and English versions of JAWS. Do the following: 1. Open the edit menu. 2. go to prefernces . If you don't like to do it from the menu, Press control+k in the main window of Adobe Reader. 3. tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode at startup, and uncheck it. Then, press yes to continue after the worning. Then, press OK. 4. Close adobe reader and start it again. But, if the PDF file has an image and not a text, You will not be able to read it. Best regards from Israel, Adi Kushnir.
