[nfbcs] adobe DC and screen reader enable all features

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

Often this "protected document" scenario happens in a work situation where an employee's copy of Adobe Reader DC is locked down. 
If the ctrl-K method doesn't work, and you are using JAWS, try doing something like this:
Route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor.
Activate the JAWS cursor, then use insert-R to change the Restrictions setting to "full screen." 
With the JAWS cursor, find the line that says that the document is in protected view. 
On that line, move word right with insert-6 until you land on the short sentence that says "enable all features."
Left-click on that.
I haven't used JAWS for all that long, but I hope this helps.
