<DIV>I know that this listserv should not become a screen-reader support list.
However, I think that people have not really tapped the power of whatever they
are using, be it JAWS, NVDA or Narrator. So I am answering Debbie’s question
here on the list in what I might call a “structured discovery” mode. I have only
used JAWS for 3 years, after the demise of Window-Eyes (with which I am writing
this message). </DIV>
<DIV>Debbie’s question was: <SPAN lang=en-us><FONT
style="face: calibri">How do I get JAWS to read a PDF
document?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV>----------------</DIV>
<DIV>I think that this is what Freedom Scientific calls one of their layered
keystrokes. To find out what options are available with these, the last
keystroke should be a question mark. </DIV>
<DIV>Layered keystrokes start with insert-spacebar. So insert-space questionmark
tells you about all the options of insert-space, of which there are many.</DIV>
<DIV>OCR is insert-space, O, which in turn has several options. I think for a
PDF document you want insert-space, O, D. </DIV>
