Hi, I also recommend this approach. This way when you deselect that enabling button it is permanent and the next protected file can be read, instead of fiddling with things each time. Judy & Tallie

This will enable the ribbon / menu bar 2. press Control TAB and this will move the PC cursor to the information bar that announces File Protection information. Use the Right Arrow once and you will hit the ENABLE EDITING Button. Hit the space bar once and your document is now off Protection mode. hTH. Cheers!

I route JAWS to PC cursor and arrow to where it says "enable editing," and the route PC to JAWS and then switch to VC. There may be an easier way but this works for me.

During this past week I have had difficulty with two different .pdf documents, both protected. I cannot say more about the protection, JAWS says protected document, and I am able to read it for a while. Then my computer slows down drastically, JAWS loses focus, and I cannot use my computer until I give it a hard reset or a sighted person closes the .pdf document. Has anyone had this experience or know of a way to get around it. Also, this last document has links to other documents which I need to access, but they don't show up as links. When I enter on their names nothing happens. This may be a separate issue, but also important to me, as I need to read this documentation for work. BTW, I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am investigating having Acrobat Reader installed to see if this might help. I would appreciate any ideas from this list. Thank you.
