[nabs-l] Reading PDF documents with jaws

[David Andrews]

Part of what you say is true -- the steps you give should be taken to 
optomize the way that JAWS and Acrobat Reader work 
together.  However, there can be problems in the way in which a PDF 
was created, that your steps won't, and can't fix, the previously 
mentioned short lines, run together words etc.  They are caused by 
the program that actually created the PDF.
