[nabs-l] question about Jaws and PDFs

[Serena]

I assume you're using Adoby reader?  If not, you need to install that on 
your computer.  Some PDFs are made accessible to blind people ... some 
aren't.  I think it depends on if the person who created the files knows 
what he/she is doing about accessibility.  There is sometimes a menu option 
to convert the PDF file to text, but I don't remember where it is.
