[NJTechDiv] pdf file in windows 10

[Lori Falk]

Good Morning,

 

A .pdf file is a specific file format that stands for portable document
file.

Here is an excerpt from the Jaws help.

Hope it helps.


Adobe Acrobat and Reader


Adobe Acrobat allows you to create documents in the Portable Document
Format, or PDF. Many people use PDF documents to exchange information,
because once a document is formatted in this way, its content and appearance
are preserved. No one can change the document. To view or print PDF files,
you can use Adobe Reader, which is available free of charge on the Internet.
JAWS allows you to hear PDF files, primarily through use of the Virtual
Cursor.

In order to take advantage of the many useful JAWS features designed for
Adobe Acrobat/Reader, it is important that the PDF files are properly
created and tagged by the document author. For information on creating
accessible PDF documents, visit the Adobe Accessibility page
<http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/index.html> .
