[NABS-L] Research articles with JAWS

[jenandnixon at gmail.com]

I read it in Adobe acrobat, which is my default PDF program to use, and it loads fine; however, I have never "skimmed" articles or anything before in PDF. The document is reading fine from just reading the two documents as the files are pretty large (both of them are). It is never a smart idea to open it up in a web browser, as it makes it bit harder to navigate with JAWS best to purchase the Adobe Acrobat software (I did as I read a TON loads of PDF files; both work and home, etc). However, I know cost can be a concern as a student.

This is the best I can help you!

Hey guys,

Am I missing something? Or are research articles in journals generally inaccessible?

How would you guys skim an article like the 2 I have attached? The headings don't function as they should. It doesn't give me page numbers. Also Adobe isn't great because Control + F doesn't work. I am reading it with Google Chrome. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Amy Albin
