hi,

pdf format can be just fine depending on what you want to do with it and how
it was made.

its good for sending forms, but we can't fill them out on our computers like
some folks can, so its partially good for this, though you can (most times)
prepare a answer sheet, print the form and someone can swiftly fill it in
for you using the sheet you made to go with it.

many articles are "downloaded" from sites in .pdf format now a days and I
can usually read them the second time or more with little problem as long as
they were readable on the website.

and many documents that are written in some form of text editor all the way
up to word (who has an automatic add in now) and translated to pdf  is
readable and often can be translated back into text by adobe reader if you
wish it in an editable format.

its when they either lock the thing up tighter than a chastity belt, or make
a pdf from images, and/or turn off the accessibility features and then lock
it and password it that they become a major pain in the hind quarters, and
this is where password removal tools and OCR programs like Kurzweil,
openbook, or for the more thrifty Abby fine reader are hopefully able to
decipher the things into something we can use (if its passworded, the OCR
programs can't process it, so a little cheat and I'm off and running~)

hope this clarifies things,

Thumb drives aren't a problem. However, when trying to eject my 1T 
external

drive, the eject option is not available in Windows Explorer.
Additionally when trying to eject through the system tray I'm told drive E
is not available. Unhappily, I end up eventually just disconnecting it

Re: [JAWS-Users] need help on how to safely remove USB thumb

2012-06-13 Thread inthaneelf

mariea,

you can get a simular effect to shutting down your computer and unplugging 
the drive by putting the comp in sleep mode and turning the drive off.


i've also found that unless the drive was activly formatted if you have the 
indexing feature turned off you can usually get a disconnect by using the 
system tray "safely remove hardware" option


take care,
elf

Thumb drives aren't a problem. However, when trying to eject my 1T
external drive, the eject option is not available in Windows Explorer.
Additionally when trying to eject through the system tray I'm told drive
E is not available. Unhappily, I end up eventually just disconnecting it
from the PC. So far so good, knock on wood. Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] large PDF file

2012-06-13 Thread Bissett, Tom
Flor has a point,  You should ask the person if they could send it to you in 
either a word document or text.  The document is not likely produced in pdf 
format but rather saved in pdf format.  I see that all the time these days.  I 
think persons feel it is better to save in pdf than protecting a document.  
So if the person could send it to you in its native format it would likely be 
more usable.

Re: [JAWS-Users] large PDF file

2012-06-13 Thread Steve
Brad,

The Kurzweil Virtual Printer doesn't "PRINT" the document.

In essence, what it does is virtually recognize the document by placing each 
page on a virtual scanner and recognizing it.  Therefore, when it is done, 
you have a document that has the same number of pages as the regular 
document.  If there are some preface pages, then you may need to re-number 
subsequent pages to match what your cohorts are reading, but if they just 
take everything in order, then you can proceed from page to page.  But, you 
are not generating a printed copy, you are just accessing the .pdf.  When 
you have it in Kurzweil, you can use the Kurzweil search capabilities if you 
need to find specific text strings.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

There's also the issue of whether the pdf was made accessibly or not. 
(it takes much longer to resove/OCR a poorly formatted pdf.) If people are
referring to pages while discussing the pdf, then you can use the Go to Page
Feature in Adobe Reader - ctrl-shift-n, and then type the page number and

Good luck with that, Brad.  I don't like the way Adobe handles largish
documents, it seems to choke and take forever.  You can go into 
preferences

and tell it to only convert portions of the document as you go.

If you have a few Benjamin's lying around, avail yourself of Open Book 
or

Kurzweil.  You can use the Freedom Import or Kurzweil Virtual Printer
respectively.  Just open the .pdf document, issue the print command 
and

select whichever one is applicable as your printer.

The disadvantage to reading docs in Adobe like that, is any table 
conversion

doesn't work all that well.  You have to be able to do a bit of mental
interpolation.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I am on our home owners association and every month the management 
company
sends me this 165 page progress report and it is in a PDF format.  I 
can
read bits of the document but it runs real slow.  I also seem to get 
held up
on turning pages at times.  I can navigate using the alt key but it 
gets
very time consumeing.  I was wondering if someone can send me a list 
of key
commands that would make it easier for me to swim through this 
document

rather then being weighed down by cement boots.



I am using jaws 13 with windows 7 and adobe 10.  If anything, could 
anyone
from this list e-mail me privately and give me instruction if I send 
them
this 165 page report to use as an example?  It might help me grasp it 
more

easily.

2012-06-13 Thread Barry J. Campbell
You may be able to convert the entire document to text or word and read it
that way.  There used to be an option to save the pdf as a text file or
there used to be a site  called pdf2txt.com to accomplish this.

Good luck with that, Brad.  I don't like the way Adobe handles largish 
documents, it seems to choke and take forever.  You can go into preferences 
and tell it to only convert portions of the document as you go.

If you have a few Benjamin's lying around, avail yourself of Open Book or 
Kurzweil.  You can use the Freedom Import or Kurzweil Virtual Printer 
respectively.  Just open the .pdf document, issue the print command and 
select whichever one is applicable as your printer.

The disadvantage to reading docs in Adobe like that, is any table conversion

doesn't work all that well.  You have to be able to do a bit of mental
