Ah. Very strange, and not nice. Haven't read this whole thread, so sorry if
this has already been brought up -- but you could try re-downloading an
older version of Reader, since it worked until a few months ago. Maybe Adobe
broke something with an update.

No OCR is completely usable, especially if the publisher uses a lot of
graphics, ads, weird spacing but having to bring it up in Adobe then wait
for 30 minutes for it to be ready to read in Jaws OCR, then not being able

I use Windows 10 and JAWS 18. JAWS OCR was apparently quite improved in
version 2018, and maybe to the  point now where it is more accurate/better,
but even the JAWS training materials stated until recently that you couldn't
use this function for reliable, high-quality oCR of scanned images. I do use
Adobe Acrobat on this machine; it's an old version and really crashy, but I
like it because it either has built in oCR functionality or interfaces with
Windows 10's OCR feature (I still am not sure which, honestly), and it can
convert to a variety of formats. I haven't yet had any reason to open a PDF
(or anything else really) in Edge, but Firefox will do this, in a pinch. I
still prefer Adobe for this purpose, though. And the newer versions of
Reader at least are less crashy and play nicer with screen-readers, though I
still have issues with Adobe and their formats.

My experience is no, with a community newspaper, OCR of it is marginal, no
way to insert book marks so you don't have to start over, after you have
read 20 pages of a 60 page document.  
Edge shows me no keystrokes, can't save or import my favorites, I am there,

to find the keystrokes, if any were actually provided.  

What garbage in my humble opinion.

Actually, I knew that one, but documents that read for years and suddenly do
not read that are not image files are not reading since December.  I have no
more to say on this subject, I sated what happens and I do know many files
will not read due to the lack of consideration of the author.

When it comes to reading PDF files with Adobe reader, the problems
encountered are most likely to be with the documents themselves, and not the
reader.
Once the document is loaded in Adobe, if it does not read, whether Jaws
indicates it or not, it is because it is nothing more than a picture of
text.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading pdf's in Edge?

[JM Casey]

Do it within windows itself, as was suggested in an earlier response.
Windows 10 in particular is finicky about this. You need to set most of your
file associations within Windows and not within the individual programs
(browsers, readers, etc). You can do this using "default programs" in
control panel or, as was suggested earlier, using the context menu to pick
the desired application, and checking the box that says "always use this
program to open this type of file".

The only thing I haven't tried yet is to uninstall it and reinstall it.  I'm

Good Morning

I had the same issue with Adobe. That dialog box continues to come up and
Adobe never becomes the default program. Here is the solution

1 - Find a PDF file and hit your applications key while focus is on it and
arrow up to properties and hit enter
2 - Shift tab to the change button and hit enter
3 - Tab once until you get to the list box of applications that could open
PDF files with and arrow up or down until you find Adobe

Hi I've installed acrobat reader DC and each time I go into it it asks if I
want to make it the default and of course I say yes but still can't read
PDF's.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is to uninstall it and reinstall it.  I'm
reluctant to do this but it looks like I may have to.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading pdf's in Edge?

[JM Casey]

I use Windows 10 and JAWS 18. JAWS OCR was apparently quite improved in
version 2018, and maybe to the  point now where it is more accurate/better,
but even the JAWS training materials stated until recently that you couldn't
use this function for reliable, high-quality oCR of scanned images. I do use
Adobe Acrobat on this machine; it's an old version and really crashy, but I
like it because it either has built in oCR functionality or interfaces with
Windows 10's OCR feature (I still am not sure which, honestly), and it can
convert to a variety of formats. I haven't yet had any reason to open a PDF
(or anything else really) in Edge, but Firefox will do this, in a pinch. I
still prefer Adobe for this purpose, though. And the newer versions of
Reader at least are less crashy and play nicer with screen-readers, though I
still have issues with Adobe and their formats.

My experience is no, with a community newspaper, OCR of it is marginal, no
way to insert book marks so you don't have to start over, after you have
read 20 pages of a 60 page document.  
Edge shows me no keystrokes, can't save or import my favorites, I am there,

What I did to read a PDF was saved it to the desktop giving it an unordinary
name.  I chose Weird.
Then launching Open Book, I went to Open Document and selected the PDF
option.
Next I looked on the desktop and found the file named Weird.
After I pressed Enter, Open Book started reading it.

I also tried turning on Narrator in Edge, but I wasn't able to stop Narrator
from reading the whole document.  In other words, I wasn't able to read word
by word nor line by line.

Hopefully this'll work for you.  Or better yet, maybe someone will share a
bit of JAWS magic with us to make it easier to read PDF's.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading pdf's in Edge?

[Rick Justice]

When it comes to reading PDF files with Adobe reader,
the problems encountered are most likely to be with the documents 
themselves, and not the reader.
Once the document is loaded in Adobe, if it does not read, whether Jaws 
indicates it or not,
it is because it is nothing more than a picture of text.

HTH,
Rick Justice

Good Morning

I had the same issue with Adobe. That dialog box continues to come up and
Adobe never becomes the default program. Here is the solution

1 - Find a PDF file and hit your applications key while focus is on it and
arrow up to properties and hit enter
2 - Shift tab to the change button and hit enter
3 - Tab once until you get to the list box of applications that could open
PDF files with and arrow up or down until you find Adobe
4 - Once you have it highlighted tab to the ok button and hit enter

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading pdf's in Edge?

[joedinero68]

Good Morning

I had the same issue with Adobe. That dialog box continues to come up and
Adobe never becomes the default program. Here is the solution

1 - Find a PDF file and hit your applications key while focus is on it and
arrow up to properties and hit enter
2 - Shift tab to the change button and hit enter
3 - Tab once until you get to the list box of applications that could open
PDF files with and arrow up or down until you find Adobe
4 - Once you have it highlighted tab to the ok button and hit enter
5 - Tab to the ok button again and hit enter.
6 - You should now be able to open PDFs with Adobe, moreover if your JAWS is
up to date it will actually tell you the file is not accessible and prompt
you if you want it to OCR and read it for you.

Hope that helps

Joe

Hi I've installed acrobat reader DC and each time I go into it it asks if I
want to make it the default and of course I say yes but still can't read
PDF's.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is to uninstall it and reinstall it.  I'm
reluctant to do this but it looks like I may have to.

Howdy Sheez,

What if you read the PDF file with the Jaws OCR feature instad of 
Openbook?
Would this possibly read the file better?  I'm just throwing this out 
there

since I don't use Widows 10 / Edge as my main computer / browser.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

What I did to read a PDF was saved it to the desktop giving it an 
unordinary

name.  I chose Weird.
Then launching Open Book, I went to Open Document and selected the PDF
option.
Next I looked on the desktop and found the file named Weird.
After I pressed Enter, Open Book started reading it.

I also tried turning on Narrator in Edge, but I wasn't able to stop 
Narrator
from reading the whole document.  In other words, I wasn't able to read 
word

by word nor line by line.

Hopefully this'll work for you.  Or better yet, maybe someone will share a
bit of JAWS magic with us to make it easier to read PDF's.

I am not sure!
You could make sure that the virtual PC cursor is on, and try pressing F7 to 
use carrot browsing!

Thank you Dave. 
Edge opened the PDF via default, I was just not able to read the text. I
should have been more clear. 
Any tips on getting Edge to read the text?

Hi!
On the PDF, press the applications key or Shift+F10. Arrow down to open with
sub menu and press right arrow. Arrow down to Edge, and press enter.
Your PDF, even a scanned image will open in Edge, and after a minute or so,
you will be able to read it just like a word document. I use Edge to read
all of my PDFs now.
