[blindlaw] Reading PDFs with JAWS has become infeasible

[Ben Fulton]

Hi Rahul,

I've always found Jaws annoying when it comes to pdf's. My solution is to use Kurzwell and turn the document into a word document. There are problems with this, There will be some letters off, and it won't work on handwriting very well, but it's the best solution I have.

Hi everyone,

I have JAWSb 2018 and acrobat dc. Jaws keeps automatically jumping up and down in PDFs when you select 'read entire document'. Control+up and down arrows also doesn't work for para-wise navigation; jaws says blank. Finally, even ctrl+shift+n works sporadically. 

I have spoken with VFO. They say that the first 2 problems, at least, have been widely reported in recent weeks. I am using OCR and word versions as ad hoc measures. Do others have any ideas, or can they report this to FS or Adobe if they are facing it?

Best,
Rahul
