Re: [JAWS-Users] What to change in IE to make PDF file read

2015-12-01 Thread Pinky 
Hi Mike,
I used those steps to change IEon IE9 and IE11. If you have Adobe Reader on
your pc you should have Adobe Reader PDF in the tree list on the manage
add-ons screen. Also if you have Adobe Reader link helper you need to
disable both of them. Then change the filter comb box to "All Aadd-on" then
tab to ok. If you do not see Adobe Reader in your tree list make sure when
you first bring up the Manage add on screen that it says  "toolbars and
extensions." If it does not then arrow up or down until you hear  "toolbars
and extensions." Then when you hear that tab and change the filter box to
"All add-on" then tab I think once to the tree view and look for Adobe
Reader PDF and Adobe Reader link helper and disable both of them. Thentab to
ok button.
I hope that helps.
Ed

Hi Ed,

Is this for any IE version in particular?  In IE 10 I don't show anything
for Adobe in All Add-ons hence the question for if these steps are for a
specific version of IE.  Thank you very much, definitely a keeper.
Take care.

Hi Group,
Listed below is what I did to get both my W7 pc's to read PDF files.  If you
follow the instructions below and you are in IE and you click on a PDF file
it will open in a new window and JAWS will read it. When you are done you
can just hit Alt+f4 and it will close the PDF file and you will be back in
IE on the PDF link you just click on. You  Have to change some things in IE
and also in Adobe Reader. Here is the instructions below.

How to make Adobe Reader load in its own Window?
1. Open IE
2. Press Alt+t  then press  A to open manage add-ons.
3. JAWs should say "toolbars and extensions" if it does not arrow down
or up until it does.
4. Then tab once and you will hear "filter combo box"
5. Arrow up once to "all add-ons"  then  tab once
6. Scroll down to Adobe Reader PDF
7. If it is enabled press  spacebar to highlight Adobe Reader PDF
8. Press application key and then press enter to disabled Adobe Reader
PDF
9. Arrow up or down and if you hear Adobe PDF link helper. Press the
application key and disable it.
10. Tab to Close
Now you have to make some changes in Adobe Reader. See instruction's below.
Recommended Adobe Settings
1. Open Adobe.
2. Select "Edit", "Preferences".
3. In the "Documents" category, uncheck "Show each document in its own
window" (Adobe 8 only, not Adobe 7 or Adobe 9).
4. In the "3D & Multimedia" category, under the "Preferred Renderer",
select "Software" instead of "DirectX". Also, uncheck "Enable hardware
rendering for legacy video cards...".
5. In the "Accessibility" category, select "Always use Zoom Setting"
100%.
6. For Adobe 9 and 10, in the "Internet" category, uncheck "Display PDF
in browser".
7. In the "Reading" category, uncheck "Confirm before tagging
documents".
8. In the "Reading" category, for "Page vs. Document" select "For large
documents, only read the currently visible pages."
9. In the "Reading" category, for "Minimum number of pages in a large
document", make the number 2.
10. For Adobe Reader 10, in the "General" category, uncheck "Enable
Protected Mode at startup".
11. For Adobe 11, in the "Security (Enhanced)" category, uncheck "Enable
Protected Mode at startup".
12. For Adobe Acrobat 11, in the "Security (Enhanced)" category, for
Protected View select the option or radio button for Off.
13. Click OK.
14. Restart Adobe and Jaws and Zoomtest if you use it.
Now when you open a PDF file in IE, Adobe Reader should open up in a new
window. When you are done reading the PDF file just hit alt+f4 and you
should be right back in IE on the link of the PDF file.

Ed,

In this case, first it might be simpler to get in touch with the tech 
directly, to ask him what he did (or may have done) to cause IE to open 
Adobe pdf's. Have you checked on more than one pdf file?

Re: [JAWS-Users] What to change in IE to make PDF file read

2015-11-30 Thread Mike O'Brien 
Hi

The option of reading PDF documents in IE or not is an Adobe option, not an
IE option.  The easiest way to change it is to start Adobe Reader, then go
to the edit menu and open the Accessibility sub-menu.  From there choose
Setup Assistant and press enter.  This brings up a multi-page document.  On
the first page, be Shure to skip Use default settings and bypass setup.
Then on the last page of this dialog is the option to Display PDF documents
in the web browser.  Check this option if you want to have PDF document open
in IE, or uncheck it if you want PDF documents to be opened in a separate
Adobe Reader window.  I believe that this option can also be found in
Preferences, but I don't know exactly where it is.

Hi Group,
Listed below is what I did to get both my W7 pc's to read PDF files.  If you
follow the instructions below and you are in IE and you click on a PDF file
it will open in a new window and JAWS will read it. When you are done you
can just hit Alt+f4 and it will close the PDF file and you will be back in
IE on the PDF link you just click on. You  Have to change some things in IE
and also in Adobe Reader. Here is the instructions below.

How to make Adobe Reader load in its own Window?
1. Open IE
2. Press Alt+t  then press  A to open manage add-ons.
3. JAWs should say "toolbars and extensions" if it does not arrow down
or up until it does.
4. Then tab once and you will hear "filter combo box"
5. Arrow up once to "all add-ons"  then  tab once
6. Scroll down to Adobe Reader PDF
7. If it is enabled press  spacebar to highlight Adobe Reader PDF
8. Press application key and then press enter to disabled Adobe Reader
PDF
9. Arrow up or down and if you hear Adobe PDF link helper. Press the
application key and disable it.
10. Tab to Close
Now you have to make some changes in Adobe Reader. See instruction's below.
Recommended Adobe Settings
1. Open Adobe.
2. Select "Edit", "Preferences".
3. In the "Documents" category, uncheck "Show each document in its own
window" (Adobe 8 only, not Adobe 7 or Adobe 9).
4. In the "3D & Multimedia" category, under the "Preferred Renderer",
select "Software" instead of "DirectX". Also, uncheck "Enable hardware
rendering for legacy video cards...".
5. In the "Accessibility" category, select "Always use Zoom Setting"
100%.
6. For Adobe 9 and 10, in the "Internet" category, uncheck "Display PDF
in browser".
7. In the "Reading" category, uncheck "Confirm before tagging
documents".
8. In the "Reading" category, for "Page vs. Document" select "For large
documents, only read the currently visible pages."
9. In the "Reading" category, for "Minimum number of pages in a large
document", make the number 2.
10. For Adobe Reader 10, in the "General" category, uncheck "Enable
Protected Mode at startup".
11. For Adobe 11, in the "Security (Enhanced)" category, uncheck "Enable
Protected Mode at startup".
12. For Adobe Acrobat 11, in the "Security (Enhanced)" category, for
Protected View select the option or radio button for Off.
13. Click OK.
14. Restart Adobe and Jaws and Zoomtest if you use it.
Now when you open a PDF file in IE, Adobe Reader should open up in a new
window. When you are done reading the PDF file just hit alt+f4 and you
should be right back in IE on the link of the PDF file.

Re: [JAWS-Users] What to change in IE to make PDF file read

2015-11-30 Thread Pinky 
Hi Group,
Listed below is what I did to get both my W7 pc's to read PDF files.  If you
follow the instructions below and you are in IE and you click on a PDF file
it will open in a new window and JAWS will read it. When you are done you
can just hit Alt+f4 and it will close the PDF file and you will be back in
IE on the PDF link you just click on. You  Have to change some things in IE
and also in Adobe Reader. Here is the instructions below.

How to make Adobe Reader load in its own Window?
1.  Open IE 
2.  Press Alt+t  then press  A to open manage add-ons.
3.  JAWs should say "toolbars and extensions" if it does not arrow down
or up until it does.
4.  Then tab once and you will hear "filter combo box" 
5.  Arrow up once to "all add-ons"  then  tab once
6.  Scroll down to Adobe Reader PDF
7.  If it is enabled press  spacebar to highlight Adobe Reader PDF 
8.  Press application key and then press enter to disabled Adobe Reader
PDF
9.  Arrow up or down and if you hear Adobe PDF link helper. Press the
application key and disable it.
10. Tab to Close
Now you have to make some changes in Adobe Reader. See instruction's below.
Recommended Adobe Settings 
1.  Open Adobe.
2.  Select "Edit", "Preferences".
3.  In the "Documents" category, uncheck "Show each document in its own
window" (Adobe 8 only, not Adobe 7 or Adobe 9).
4.  In the "3D & Multimedia" category, under the "Preferred Renderer",
select "Software" instead of "DirectX". Also, uncheck "Enable hardware
rendering for legacy video cards...".
5.  In the "Accessibility" category, select "Always use Zoom Setting"
100%.
6.  For Adobe 9 and 10, in the "Internet" category, uncheck "Display PDF
in browser".
7.  In the "Reading" category, uncheck "Confirm before tagging
documents".
8.  In the "Reading" category, for "Page vs. Document" select "For large
documents, only read the currently visible pages."
9.  In the "Reading" category, for "Minimum number of pages in a large
document", make the number 2.
10. For Adobe Reader 10, in the "General" category, uncheck "Enable
Protected Mode at startup".
11. For Adobe 11, in the "Security (Enhanced)" category, uncheck "Enable
Protected Mode at startup".
12. For Adobe Acrobat 11, in the "Security (Enhanced)" category, for
Protected View select the option or radio button for Off.
13. Click OK.
14. Restart Adobe and Jaws and Zoomtest if you use it.
Now when you open a PDF file in IE, Adobe Reader should open up in a new
window. When you are done reading the PDF file just hit alt+f4 and you
should be right back in IE on the link of the PDF file.

Hi Mike,
I tried this but it did not help. Thanks for sending it to me.

I know the tech changed something in IE to make it open Adobe Reader on its
own page. I thought he had disabled the add on but I did that and I did that
an it did not help. So I am not sure what he changed. I have been all over
IE and cannot find what he could have changed.

Thanks again

Hi Ed,

Here's a note I had saved that might help you:

From: Gerald Levy
I finally figured it out.  As I mentioned previously, I could not get IE 11
to read a PDF document when ever I encountered a Google search result labled
as "PDF".  When I clicked on the link, it would open on a blank page.  But I
solved this problem by launching Adobe Reader, and bringing up the
Preferences dialog on the Edit menu.  I scrolled down to Security (Enhanced)
on the list of options, tabbed once to the option labeled "Enable Enhanced
Security Mode at Start Up", which was checked by default, and unchecked it.
Now when I encounter a PDF document in IE 11 and activate the link to read
it, Adobe Reader processes and reads it.  I remember this being discussed on
this list or elsewhere some time ago, but had forgotten about it.  Hope this
helps others who are experiencing the same problem.

Hi Group,

Does anyone know what I have to change in IE to get the PDF files to read. I
had a tech change something in IE that made Adobe Reader open in its own
window. When he did that JAWS would read the pdf file. Then I could close
the PDF file and I would be back on the link in IE where I clicked on it. I
need to find what he changed in IE as I had to reset my IE setting back to
default. If anyone knows what I have to change in IE to make Adobe Reader
open in it's on window please let me know.



Thanks for any help on this matter.
