[nfbcs] Enable All Features in Acrobat was RE: office 2010 accessibility question

[Nicole Torcolini]

Per activating the enable all features button in Acrobat, have you tried
using the JAWS cursor and/or convenient  OCR? No, I do not like using these
features of JAWS, but I do not consider software to be completely
inaccessible if they can be used.

Subject: [nfbcs] office 2010 accessibility question

My employer is deploying office 2010 with all protection features enabled
and that makes what documents you write protected.  The same has been done
with latest version of acrobat.  When it was done with the latest version of
acrobat, it made the enable all features button invisible to jaws once a
document was opened and jaws couldn't read the document but did read the
document's title and it became impossible to set up and run an accessibility
check on that same document.  The tools->accessibility I was able to do then
jaws went non-verbal and so did the focus 80 display.  The worse problem is
that read outloud won't work with protected documents in pdf form.  All of
this is being done for security reasons.  The Chinese have been getting into
my employer's systems and modifying files regularly.  So what I need to know
about office 2010 is if jaws is able to read a document that is protected
and sent to me for reading, acrobat is already a lost cause.  If protected
documents cannot be read, it may be necessary for me to find another
employer that doesn't use this technology.
