Agree, it's definitely weird. After closing TB with Alt+F4, JFW stops responding to about 50% of key presses, particularly the Win key which makes it a bit interesting to Power Off / Restart. This is a new install of Windows 10 with all the current updates. Nothing much else installed but

Compliments of the Season to you all, whatever you celebrate at this time of the year. I've observed an interesting issue with TB and JFW 18 where JFW is flakey after closing TB with Alt+F4. The interesting bit is that if you close TB from the file menu, Alt F, X, JFW behaves normally. This

Re: [JAWS-Users] Electronically signing pdf documents

Jean, I do the same with Word documents. There, you can locate the space for a signature or, if need be, create one. By contrast, the PDF W9 (a U.S. tax document) has no space where you'd put your signature, and the PDF format seems to prevent us from creating any. -Original Message-
