This is probably almost off topic, but CONTROL PGDN and CONTROL PGUP should move between pages, and 
there is also an acrobat option to load the entire document into the virtual buffer in JFW or the Browse 
Mode in Window-Eyes.  Also, if the document had no text at all, you should have gotten a "Empty 
Document" message.  You can bring up the Preferences dialog with CONTROL-K and then navigate to the 
"reading" TAB.  Acrobat Reader can be a bit cumbersome, but there are things that can make it a little 
better.  Changing the "reading order" in that dialog, for example, can sometimes dramatically improve 
how a document is displayed within the virtual buffer/browse mode.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
