<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had some challenges reviewing my e-mailed hotel confirmation for attending the NFB convention this July at the Rosen Center Hotel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I called the phone number, placed the reservation on my credit card, and wrote down the room confirmation number.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This has been my practice from prior years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thinking about how terrible it would be if the reservation was made for the wrong month or something I went to review the e-mailed confirmation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First it went to my junk e-mail but I easily grabbed the e-mail from there.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In past years confirmations would have the information in the body of the e-mail but this one came as an attached PDF with the name of the PDF the reservation number.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On my Windows computer I opened the PDF in Adobe Acrobat. This was not very satisfying. The application just said blank when I asked for it to read the document.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next I navigated to the attached document with my iPhone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The PDF opened easily and I reviewed a 2 row several column table.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This seems to be a more and more common way to relay vital travel information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The header for each column was the date and on row 2 was the dollar value for the reserved stay on that night.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I asked a blind colleague how to get a good experience examining a PDF document such as this room reservation using Windows.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My colleague told me to open the PDF with any browser such as edge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, save the attachment to the downloads folder, navigate to the downloads folder, tap the applications key, arrow down to open with and select edge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Edge all the information was there and easy for me to review.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to quickly reviewing future documents in a browser such as Edge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just dodged the confusion for blind people caused by Adobe Acrobat once more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also look forward to helping Adobe Acrobat increase its accessibility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Very best,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">John<o:p></o:p></p>
