This is such great information, I really hope that we can create a repository for the information and maybe even do a CLE segment on it.

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?
