[blparent] Accessible PDF program

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

When you see a document you can download in adobe, depending on the editor, 
you may or may not be able to fill it out on the computer.  Many adobe 
publishers figure that you will print out their documents and fill them out 
by hand.

I have tried to copy/paste a document into word, but messes up the 
formatting.

Some adobe documents, when they are processed, you will get an "alert empty 
document" message.  That document will still print though.

With the newer Jaws versions, if you are using Jaws, there may be ways 
around this.  Also, if you have OpenBook, you may be able to open that adobe 
document from within OpenBook program, then edit it in edit mode, but 
haven't had the chance to play around with that much.

I would also be interested to hear others' input who may have had more 
experience than I.  I don't find Adobe to be terribly dependable when it 
comes to access.  Again, it depends on the creator of the document.

Judy

Hello I am wondering what you use for an accessible PDF application to fill 
out paperwork using the computer such as medical forms that need to be 
filled out and taken back to the doctor.

Is Adobe accessible?

Thanks
Jennifer
