Hi Mike, After my previous email, I attempted to read a pdf file and it would not read. The document I was using did not read with Adobe X using Jaws 17, but it read okay using Jaws 16. Please advise if you have any additional ideas. This is very frustrating. Thank you, Roger

Hi Jim, The steps below are for Adobe XI / 11: 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. Open Adobe from your desktop shortcut or start menu then, proceed with the steps below. 1. 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 your changes & close. If you are running AdobeX / 10, let me know & I'll send those steps as well. HTH Take care.
