<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Assuming you are, in fact, using Adobe Acrobat DC (verify with INSERT+Q), there is not much that can be done for words that run together. When you activate a link to open
a PDF online, you need to be sure that it is really opening in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Sometimes, these open in the browser because of a setting which determines what you want to do with PDF files.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I recommend downloading the PDF and the opening it. I usually just press Enter on the file, and the Adobe software comes up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Many of the problems we have with PDF are due to poor construction by the originator. Not much can be done about that except to complain vigorously.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to look at some PDF documents from my bank. When I select one online, it opens, but it doesn’t always display well.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I see 2 checkboxes, one for text and the other labelled draw. Do these make a difference? I tried checking text, but it didn’t seem to change anything.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also see a spinbox for size. Does increasing the size display more on the screen?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The document I’m trying to read today has many of the words run together. I’ve seen this with PDF before. As I recall, there’s no way I can fix it. Is that right?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I downloaded the doc, hoping it would be easier to read than online, and opened it, I expected to see the screen reader dialog pop up, asking me how I wanted to read the thing, but it didn’t. I used alt-e to open edit, then hit OK
on the reading preferences, and then the dialog came up. Can I make it come up every time I open a PDF doc?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, some of these bank docs have headings. Can I jump to a heading in PDF, as I can in a website or in Word? I’m using Jaws.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
