Re: simply do not alt tab;suggested solution for using Adobe

[Robert Logue]

Thanks Artur. It is crazy that that dialog does not always show up using 
Jaws.  I've seen that happen lots of times before the current versions 
of Reader and Jaws.  I've had to hunt for it many times over the last 
few years.

I see they have slightly changed the name of the dialog.
Reading Untagged Document with Assistive Technology
And, yes. I just tested by alt tabbing away from the dialog and it is 
not in focus when I alt tab back to Acrobat Reader DC.
However, I Press the Jaws to pc key and landed right on it this time.
But, then when I rout pc to jaws, it's still not in focus.Â
Had to right click something to focus it.

I just tested with NVDA and can't even get back to the dialog.  It's 
like it is in a sepperet window that is removed from the app switching 
list when I alt tab away.  I have no idea how to get back to it with NVDA.

Now I need to read the whole thread to see what else is being done to 
fix this.

Hi,

Â

I don’t have any problems with the newest adobe reader.

And there is  really a place where you shouln’d alt+tab. That is 
when you open a PDF file and Adobe Reader opens the dialog „how to 
read this PDF file. If you don’t wait enouch and alt+tab avay 
then you can’t alt+tab back to this dialog. You have only two 
possibilities wait and hope that this dialog moves into focus or 
search it trough JAWS+f10  application list.

If you start alt+tabing then you get lost and cann’tfind the 
dialog and cann’t read the PDF file..

There is nothing to do with JAWS, Adobe made it’s software in such way.

Or like telling the same blind computer user to pick up a mouse and 
will it to do what you think.  Alt tabbing is as normal as 
breathing.  JB

simply do not ever alt tab.

 Yeah, right.  This is akin to telling a computer user who can't see 
the system tray to "simply do not ever breathe."

Oy!
