PDFs through safari

2012-06-20 Thread Dr. Nancy Badger Ph.D.
Hi everyone,
Our campus has put out a new newsletter that I am trying to access.  When I go 
to the site directly from the email, a window comes up and VO says processing 
plug in.  Then it just sits there and does nothing.  It will sit there for 
quite some time.  I can't move around or interact with VO.  Does anyone know 
what is going on?  The link for the newsletter suggests that it is a PDF.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nancy

Hello Nancy,

It sounds as though they are trying to display the PDF in a plug-in that has 
accessibility issues, or perhaps they're using Adobe reader with flash.  Can 
you disable your plugi-ns and try just downloading the newsletter instead?  To 
disable your Safari plug-ins, bring up your preferences with Command-Comma.  
Interact with the toolbar, then navigate to the Security button and press it. 
 On the security pane there should be a check box for Enable plug-ins that 
you can temporarily uncheck. Close your preferences window with Command-W and 
try downloading the PDF document instead.  You should be able to use the 
contextual menu (VO-Shift-M) on the link to find a download option.  Then 
display with Preview or Skim instead. You can enable your plug-ins again from 
the Safari preferences menu after you're done.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
