[nfbcs] PDF

[Steve Jacobson]

Tracy,

On the schedule, I definitely got tables.  Is there any chance that this is partly a JFW thing?  Does anyone know if JFW doesn't interpret tables when they are 
present when using Acrobat?  Of course, I know that tables are not always present or are not used correctly, so there are other cases that are just plain bad, but on 
the surface, this schedule appears to have tables with Acrobat Reader 9 and Window-Eyes 7.11.
