[NFBCS] adobe question:

[Curtis Chong]

Charles:

Any chance of getting a look at one of the files and getting the password?

Have you tried printing to OpenBook or something similar. Has JAWS Convenient OCR worked? I know that OCR is less than perfect, but at least it gives you access to most of what's in the file.

All:

The problem is the way that SAN's set their accessibility mode within their locked down pdf's. The resolution is to get SAN's to unblock that aspect of their password protected files while providing  accessibility to visually impaired consumers. Once this has been achieved, I am sure their will be no further problems.

I would try the convenient ocr in JAWS or NVDA's text recognition utility if you cannot find accessibility or read the file.
