Mike, well, I see security enhansed it is 25 of 31 in the list. There are no
settings to uncheck. It goes from security to signatures. here is a little
more about the file.
Thanks for ordering this Mini-Mystery e-Book. It is attached to this e-mail
as a pdf file.
I tried to read it with openbook and it tells me that the file is empty. I
was able to print it but not read it go figure! I may have to scan each page
to get around the problem. It would be nice if I could change the security
options I am using the xi version of adobe.

Lenny,
In Adobe Reader do you have, Protected Mode, disabled? If not try the
following if your running Adobe XI:
Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the
consequences of
unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say.
1. Open Adobe from your desktop or start menu shortcut. Go into preferences
with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree view.
If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow
down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below "Security."
Then uncheck these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck
but, optional:
Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked.
Enable Enhanced Security, does not need to be unchecked.
Note. When making changes in the Security Enhanced section, you will be told
that Adobe needs to be restarted, but you can wait to finish the other
changes first.
2. Launch the Edit menu, scroll down to the Accessibility submenu and open
it. Scroll down to the Set-up Assistant and press enter. The Set-Up
Assistant has five screens, but the only change you have to make is on the
last, screen 5 of 5. Go through all the screens, pressing spacebar on "Next"
in each instance, until you reach the fifth and final screen. Here, tab to
the check box labeled "Display PDF documents in the web browser" and make
sure it
is unchecked. It may be checked by default. Then tab to the Okay button &
press enter to save & close.
Take care.
Mike

Hi Lenny,
Have you tried to use Openbook to read it or, another OCR program? I don't
have a protected PDF file to play around with so, I can't experiment. 1
other thought, since the text is on the screen, try virtualizing the window,
selecting all the text, & pasting it into Notepad to see if you can read it
that way. Remember to escape out of the virtual view or, you won't be able
to open Notepad.
Take care.
Mike

I purchased a magic illusion document. It came in pdf format. When I try to
open it I get a protection error that states that the author set security
that can not be accessed. Interesting, my wife can read it on the screen.
Jaws can not get past the protection error even the jaws cursor can not read
what my wife sees. How can I get around this.
