Hi all, A few weeks ago, someone asked what was the best way of reading PDFs. I gave some vague response, and though I can't remember who asked, I know it comes up quite often, so, below I list more specific steps. I hope they help whoever wanted to know. 1. Find your document in your folder system. 2. Press VO-M and navigate to the File menu. 3. Go down to the Open With menu. 4. Arrow right and then down to Safari. 5. Leave the document to open-this might take some time if it is large for example-when it starts reading, arrow until you are in the window (rather than in the other web functions such as add to reading list etc). 6. Interact with the window with the VO-Down Arrow-Shift command. 7. If you want to read line by line, try to get your reading setting to 'navigation', otherwise when you use the down arrow, you will be reading via character or word. 8. Use the arrows to read up and down each line. 9. Close or quit when you are finished. N.B.: the default setting for PDFs is Preview, which I personally find hard to access. This has worked for me so far most often. I think I said to use Google Chrome last time I emailed, but I think I should really have said Safari, as Chrome seems not to open the document in the same way-often saying 'empty HTML' which Safari does not. Kind regards Kirsten.
