[blindlaw] Strike Through in PDFs

[Tai Blas]

Lucas,

If the program you are using to access the PDF will allow it, I would
recommend saving to RTF. I have Adobe X Standard and it allows me to do
this. When you open the RTF in word, JAWS should indicate the striken
material. Let me know if you have this version of the PDF software. If not,
feel free to send me the material off list and I will convert it for you. My
email address is taiablas at gmail dot com. 

Alternatively, you could ask your VR counselor and/or school to provide you
with a human reader to assist you with the material.

Tai

Subject: [blindlaw] Strike Through in PDFs

Dear List,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me with a problem. For my
externship in school I'm supposed to be reading and reporting on some of the
pending bills in the legislative session. The bills are in PDFA format. I'm
needing to be able to know when the bill indicates a word has been striken
from the statute. I'm using JAWS 14 and I have changed the speech settings
so that it is supposed to indicate attribute changes, including the strike
through. So far, I have had no luck with getting JAWS to recognize the
striken material.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
