Just a suggestion. Has anyone tried maybe using the app called Skim to read
p d f files? I hear that it works extremely! well and is way! way! better
than Preview. Plus, it's completely 100% freeware.
I'd google it and try it. You all might like it.

I use Skim myself and since updating to 10.8.4 Skim has become unusable for me.

Just as a guess, try changing your view to continuous. It seems in Preview
that single page is not working as far as VO seems to not see the document.

just a thought. Smile.

Thank you for that. I feel really dim for not trying that. Hopefully though the
problem with single page view can be fixed, as it can be useful.

None intended, it appears that single page view is not accessible to VO.
However, if you change your view to Single Page Continuous VO works fine with
Skim and reading. Thanks to John for this.

Hi James,
Can you provide some details of the problems you are having with Skim? I did a
quick run through of a couple PDFs using Skim 1.4.3 on my MBA running OS 10.8.4
and didn't encounter any major issues.
Cheers,
Bryan

Agreed there. I'm doing just that now. all 4 gigs should be downloaded in about

If by, batch convert, you mean handle multiple documents at once, I've never
tried that. Is that particularly what you meant? I am sure such programs exist,

Can you check whether you have the mute button turned on? On the left of the

Push it up (e.g., toward the front screen). If VoiceOver says unmute, you
had this turned on, and that is why you don't have

For the past few weeks, I have been using an App called VO Calendar. It was
