Mike- thanks, thanks, thanks. I appreciate very much that you read and understood the question. I had been skipping the set up assistant and doing the quick method because in the older Adobe versions that worked well. I did not know that they've hidden the open in browser option inside. I still don't understand what the browser settings under Preferences are supposed to do since they've changed the wording. I followed your directions and hope my problems will now be solved. Adobe XI has just been sitting there instead of automatically processing- seemingly waiting for someone to select the 'Start' button which is not in the tab order and not easily navigated to with JAWS.
Thanks again. Cher -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

I finally found a .pdf and used the context menu to choose 'open with'. Not sure if this will be sufficient when there is a link to a .pdf in a browser or not- guess we shall see.

There should be a choice for opening in a browser or not. On 3/26/2014 5:49 PM, Don & Cher wrote: > With this latest Adobe, which setting chooses to open pdfs in Adobe > rather than in the browser?
