You may be able to convert the entire document to text or word and read it that way. There used to be an option to save the pdf as a text file or there used to be a site called pdf2txt.com to accomplish this.

I don't like the way Adobe handles largish documents, it seems to choke and take forever. You can go into preferences and tell it to only convert portions of the document as you go. If you have a few Benjamin's lying around, avail yourself of Open Book or Kurzweil. You can use the Freedom Import or Kurzweil Virtual Printer respectively. Just open the .pdf document, issue the print command and select whichever one is applicable as your printer. The disadvantage to reading docs in Adobe like that, is any table conversion doesn't work all that well. You have to be able to do a bit of mental interpolation. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I can read bits of the document but it runs real slow. I also seem to get held up on turning pages at times. I can navigate using the alt key but it gets very time consumeing. I was wondering if someone can send me a list of key commands that would make it easier for me to swim through this document rather then being weighed down by cement boots. I am using jaws 13 with windows 7 and adobe 10. If anything, could anyone from this list e-mail me privately and give me instruction if I send them this 165 page report to use as an example? It might help me grasp it more easily.
