[blindLaw] Difficulties in Reading PDFs in Adobe Reader with JAWS 2019

Hi All,

By way of an update, a couple of days ago, I reached out to Vispero
about the two key problems that folks are facing while trying to read
PDF documents in Adobe Reader with JAWS. These are: (a) JAWS losing
focus; and (b) para-wise navigation being impermissible. They have
agreed that the line-skipping issue is a problem and have officially
acknowledged it as a bug which their development team will now work
on. I will also prod them to rectify the issue of the content of PDFs
appearing as a large wall of text when read with JAWS, rather than in
para-wise form.

I would be grateful if others who have encountered these two issues
could reach out to them as well, to compel them to act promptly on
this.

The folks you should contact are:
A. Grant Patterson - GPatterson at vispero.com; and
b. Bill Herzler - BHerzler at vispero.com.

Thanks so much.

Best,
Rahul
