--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
@Simon is attachment 200137 the PDF that will be read all the way through? Or
that stops part way?

Also, is this only with JAWS, or also with NVDA?

For what it is worth, a PDF opened by default into Draw, or with filter
selection into Writer, can not be read with NVDA SayAll. 

The structure of an "opened" PDF is a bunch of drawn shapes, text runs are done
a line at a time into a text box shape per line. So require object navigation. 

So reading requires a screen scrape with mouse cursor, or the awkward use of
<Tab>, <Enter>, <ESC> cycling to expose the paragraph text in each Draw object.

<Tab> moves between the draw objects
<Enter> toggles into the text mode for the draw shape object
<Esc> toggles back to object navigation
<Tab> moves to next draw shape.

Screen scraping is much more fluid.

And either method requires you use the PdgDn, PgUp to move between pages of the
document.

But for a PDF, wouldn't the free Adobe Reader be a better choice?
