Hi Faisal, Admittedly, the pdf’s I frequently access are not as large as you’ve mentioned, although, just for investigative purposes, I opened a pdf I used to access on Open Directory Administration within OS X Servers. This pdf is 295 pages long with many or most of the elements you mentioned in the academic articles you are required to read. Upon opening it, VO announced that the document was 295 pages long and landed me on the pdf Content area. I interacted twice and began reading with no issues. Of course, I didn’t take the time to read all 295 pages but whether I went line by line or VO-a to start reading from where I was, VO read the pdf just fine. I realize that there are issues within Preview and it’s handling of certain tables and such within the document, but the headings, sub-headings and other textual content was read normally. Images and/or figure 2, for example, were not read for obvious reasons. I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t believe that the size of the file is the issue. I’m not sure what the issue is, nor am I trying to say that there’s no problems at all with Preview, but, I appear to be able to use Preview just fine with most pdfs.
