[JAWS-Users] Jaws in tray now What?

[LeDon Becker]

I went to jaws and pressed alt,  O for options and then I went to basics then I 
checked the box to run jaws from the system tray. Now I don’t know how to get 
jaws back so I can press alt, O to go to options again. And by the way, when I 
look in the system tray jaws is not listed there? So, how do I call jaws?  I 
thought that if I pressed the jaws key and the letter, J, that would call jaws 
back up. But, no, that doesn’t work. Thanks for the heads up on this question.

Does DC have the option to uncheck 'open in browser'? Check under the

Hello,

 

I know this topic has been discussed but don't remember the work around if
any. I'm using the latest version of the PDF software  referenced in my
subject line. Works great opening attachments I receive via email, PDF's on
my PC, etc. However, some web based PDF documents, an example are ones on my
Prudential IRA site, when they get opened all I hear is an open button that
I cannot do anything with. Has anyone found a way to open this type PDF
document?

 

Best,

Al

I wonder what issues you were having. I do admit that it has been a long
time since I visited the site, so things might have changed.

Hi LeDon,

Did you restart Jaws or your computer after telling Jaws to run from the 
system tray?  If not, try that, & if that doesn't put Jaws in the system 
tray below are several steps on how to make items show in the system tray. 
Yes the keystroke, insert / Jaws key + J, should open Jaws options.

From: CrisM

To get the icons to show up in the system tray, go to your desktop, tab down
three times till you land on Notifications or something, then press the
applications key and press enter on the customize notifications icon option.
From there, you'll be able to move and and select which icons you want to
appear in the system tray. I had this same issue and someone on here
suggested this solution to me and it worked.
Cris

From: Rick Justice

Open the start menu, and type the following in the search box:
notification
In the results, you should find, notification area icons, make sure that
this is selected, and press enter.
When the dialogue opens, you will probably hear Jaws say, okay button, so
just tab until you get into the list of applications.
Each time you tab, you will be on a different application,and using the up
and down arrows will select the behavior of that icon.
When you have finished making your changes, simply tab to the okay button,
and press enter to close the dialogue.
HTH,
Rick Justice

From: Brian Lee

You might have figured it out already, but if not, here is what you can do
in Windows 7.  After setting JAWS to start in the system tray, move to the
notification area using Windows key + B.  Find the Notification Chevron 
button
and press spacebar on it.  Use up arrow key to the Customize choice and
press enter key.  If focus moves away from the notification area while using
up or down arrow key, move back to it using Windows key + B, and if 
necessary
use the chevron button again.  After using the Customize button, use tab key
several times until you find "Application file for JAWS."  As you tab across
the window, you will find combo boxes for various programs.  Each combo box
has three choices.  In the combo box for the application file for JAWS, use
the up arrow key until the choice for showing JAWS in the notification area 
is
in focus.  Tab to the OK button and press spacebar.  The JAWS icon should
now be in the notification area.
Take care.
Brian Lee

Take care.

Agree.  The accessibility wizard should have an option to open the pdf 
in the browser or not.  not in my experience is better.

When JAWS is in the system tray, press insert J to invoke its options.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws in tray now What?

[Mike O'Brien]

Hi

When JAWS is running from the system tray, when you're using the desktop 
keyboard layout, pressing JAWSkey+j will bring up the JAWS menus.  But in the 
laptop keyboard layout, where CapsLock is usually the JAWSkey, pressing 
JAWSkey+j  will move back to the prior word instead of bringing up the JAWS 
menus.  You can use insert+j to bring up the JAWS menus no matter which 
keyboard layout you're using, even though pressing those 2 keys together can be 
awkward on some computers.  Also in the laptop keyboard layout pressing 
control+shift+CapsLock+j will bring up the JAWS menus.  When you change the run 
JAWS from the system tray setting, JAWS must be restarted before it takes 
effect.

For some reason, this option was moved in DC, as follows: 

In Adobe Reader, go to the Edit menu (alt-e) and arrow up to the Accessibility 
submenu. 

Select Set-up Assistant.  

On page 5 of 5, the last page, of the Set-up Assistant is a check box  labeled 
"Display PDF documents in the web browser." It should be unchecked  so that the 
web page is processed directly by Adobe Reader.

Hi Alan,

When that happens to me, I just save a copy on my computer,
instead of viewing the document from the temp directory it's
being held in.

I believe this has to do with the Smart Screen feature, but
don't quote me on that.

In any case, if you do a "save as" from the file menu, then
save it in your documents or downloads directory, it will
negate the Smart Screen protection, and you should be able
to read the document just fine.

Hope this helps.

Do you have an Adobe icon on your desktop.  You don't need to be in a 
pdf to make the necessary changes.  If you do not have the Adobe desktop 
icon, search Adobe pdf or Adobe BC in Windows Search.  Once you have a 
blank Adobe screen, go to it with the set up assistant.

[JAWS-Users] Accidentally enabled the Jaws Touch features on my desktop

[Cristóbal]

Hello list,

So while typing away doing this and that on my business desktop, I must have
been too fast and sloppy because now, I seem to have enabled some sort of
touch mode for a tablet PC and Jaws. Naturally, the famous search for
command feature that was introduced in one of the recent Jaws updates isn’t
giving me any results no matter what I type. Poking around the Jaws help
files isnt’ giving me anything either. I have to imagine it’s a toggle
keystroke, but so far, I haven’t found it. The closeest I’ve come to is
insert+shift+semi-colin for the touch cursor which doesn’t’ get me out of
this mode.

I’m banging  out this email on my personal laptop, but I need to be able to
work with my business machine. I thought I’d shoot an email to folks with
more experience with the touch interface of Jaws while I continue my search
for a solution.

 

Thanks,
