[BlindTlk] JAWS and PDF documents

[Judy Jones]

Sherry,

You have so much knowledge, and have always been a great go-to.

I learned something else today and am keeping your e-mail.  Thanks much.

I think I know what's going on. Open up your adobe program. Press control K
to bring up preferences, then hit the letter s three times. You should land
on security enhanced. Tab once and I bet you will find a checkbox that says,
enable protected mode at start up. Uncheck this box then tab to yes to
verify. Tab or shift tab to okay and hit that. Then close adobe and open a
file again. Jaws should read it now. It seems that adobe has enabled this
protected mode by default, and it needs to be turned off before JAWS can
read the file.

Hi all,
I have noticed over the last few days that JAWS isn't reading PDF documents.
I have the latest versions of JAWS and Adobe Reader installed. Some of the
documents I have tried to read have been read before with no problems, and I
am not sure what has changed to make them no longer accessible. The OCR
feature will read them, but I was previously able to read them without
having to do that step. I am wondering if anyone else has had similar issues
and if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks.
Danielle
