Hi Lou, I use Firefox and opening PDFs within the browser works fine on my Windows 10 system, and, when you finished with the PDF, Alt-LeftArrow takes you back to the web page containing the link to read the PDF.

Someone from Adobe is or was on this list and informed us as much. As I recall, the problem has something to do with IE and Adobe Acrobat. It's been awhile, but I believe the Adobe rep said the problem existed for non assistive tech users as well. The recommendation was to set Adobe to launch itself rather than allow the pdf to open from within the browser. I never tried with Firefox or Chrome, so I don't know if the problem is there as well. I have gotten into the habit of downloading the pdf with the save target as option and opening the file by finding it in Windows Explorer, right clicking with the applications key, and choosing the open with option. I've lost track of any progress made with Adobe and IE. Maybe someone on the list has current information on the status of this problem.

Over the last few days, I have noticed one consistent action that seems to cause the problem. When I open a PDF document from a web page and start the process of recognizing the document-the dialog box with reading order, read full document etc., WE always crashes and has to be restarted with control-alt-w. I have not tried downloading PDFs before processing them enough to know whether the problem exists there as well. WE developers, PLEASE look into this issue. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is experiencing decreased work productivity/efficiency because of this.
