[blindlaw] Reviewing Redlining in Adobe PDF Document

[William Miller]

Hi Tai,

  I second using a more robust sound scheme for reviewing PDFs. You can set
JAWS to read font attributes (such as color, bold, italic, strikethrough,
etc.) with a different voice, or to make a sound (e.g. a whistle sound) when
it reads the font attribute. JAWS has many different sound scheme options,
or you can create your own. Here is a good tutorial on using and modifying
sound schemes:

  If you would rather just go to the Settings Center and experiment with
different sound schemes, you can get to the window by pressing INSERT+ALT+S.


  I hope this helps. Take care,

Will

Does Adobe convert the track changes and comments back into MS Word format
if you save the PDF file as an MS Word file?  Also, you can use a more
verbose JAWS sound scheme to have redlines and strike-through text read in a
different voice.

I have received a redlined document from a colleague in Adobe format. Does
anyone know how to review comments and changes in a PDF using JAWS?
