Indeed, and in a quick test of mine, the text of shapes is read fine by JAWS when navigating between the text shapes using the Tab key. (JAWS says something like "text frame, text frame shape <number>, <actual text>" when one of the shapes receives focus. (Tested using the default import into Draw) @Simon: Does that work for you as well? > But for a PDF, wouldn't the free Adobe Reader be a better choice? That indeed sounds like the more "natural" choice to me as well to read an existing PDF file. @Simon: Can you explain what's the reason/use case for using LibreOffice for reading the PDF file instead of a PDF reader?
