Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Re: How do you write in PDFs? also, please remember to enable braille mode by pressing control alt h and screen reader mode by pressing control alt zBoth of these modes should make docs much more usable and may allow you to find all the formatting information that you need. Please let us know how it goes because I have had this problem to.

Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Re: How do you write in PDFs? You can edit PDFs in Word, just open it in word 2016. note that it will become a normal word document, and it will ask you to save it as word first, when pressing control s. If you really want it as a PDF then export it back to PDF after you're done. Now I remember a valid point though, will word comments appear after you export it to PDF? I am not so sure of that but you'll have to ask a sighted to make sure,. I tried a quick google search and indeed some people had problems with that but not all.But if all what you want to do is add the side comments, adding sticky notes as I described in my above comment should be fine, that puts it at the margins I believe.

Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Re: How do you write in PDFs? @amerikranian Make sure of course that your screen reader is in forms/editing mode, and that the document is saved to local (not temp) storage.

Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Re: How do you write in PDFs? Thank you all for your answers.Re, Adoby. I tried using it, I really did. However, it doesn't allow me to write in margins (which is what I was instructed to do).Re, Google docs. I'll have to look into that, I remember the app having quirks when I used it a bit ago.Concerning editing PDFs in word, you can't, not from what I have seen. You can open them, but you can't type on them. That being said, I didn't try particularly hard to do so and thus might have missed an option somewhere.In regards to printing a txt file, sorry, not an option URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/612454/#p612454 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Re: How do you write in PDFs? Or, just saying, upload the pdf to a google drive, then press a(action) on the file, then choose open with>docs. Then, a new google docs would be created with the content of the pdf, I find it preserves the format of the pdf best. Then, you use the integrated commands within google docs to check formatting and whatever.

Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Re: How do you write in PDFs? Short answer, PDF's sucks when it comes to editing, because that's they were created for, to preserve the format and make you unable to edit. However, with the new adobi updates they now allow you to add comments, it sucks but I am going to tell you all your options.Now in the free reader version you are limited to only add sticky notes, otherwise if you want to highlight or some other tools I forgot about, you need to pay for adobi pro, but more importantly they allow you to add tags which will be readable to screen readers.Anyway in the free version you can still add the sticky notes, I managed to do it. Select the text and press applications then choose add sticky notes. Write what you need to write then use the navigator object to navigate to the post button. The drawbacks here lay in the fact that comments position are not read by NVDA, I mean unlike in MS Word, NVDA do not warn you that there is a comment available, however I found a way to read them as individual comments without knowing their position.To do that, go to view, tools then comments and press on open. then press f6 and press tabs until you reach all the comments. I think you could move here with down arrows, or tab, one of them should work.For me that would be doable but so inefficient tbh, so your other option is select the file, press application, go to open with, more apps and choose word, it will convert the pdf to a word document and will try to preserve its format, but if you have Word 2016 that is, it might work on 2013 I am not so sure. anyway that changes a bit in the format but in word if you go to review then add a comment it'll be much more accessible.As for NVDA reporting the format, press NVDA control d, you'll find all the needed options there, check what you need. I recommend you to not check all the options as it makes NVDA too heavy and unresponsive. You can also press NVDA+f to read the format of the current paragraph under the cursor.I hope this helped.

Re: How do you write in PDFs?
Re: How do you write in PDFs? Could you perhaps copy and paste the text into Word and then do your highlighting/annotating? That's probably not a great way to do it because of how the text is structured in the PDF, but that's the only way I can think of that would satisfy your teacher's requirements. Are you using NVDA or JAWS? I know JAWS at least has a text analyzer that will report that kind of information as you navigate throughout a document.
