[NJTechDiv] Alt shortcut key not working in Adobe Reader

[Janie Degenshein Woo Hoo]

Make sure you are running it in maximized window 
Not sure this would help but Jaws reads better that way
To check if your window is maximized:
1 tap a for adobe reader and do not open it
2 use alt and enter to bring up the properties
       3 tab through this section past short cut key to the run and use the arrows to select maximize 
4 continue to  okay and use space bar or enter to accept this change
Let me know if this helps


                                                                             Keep smiling,

Sometimes on my new machine Adobe takes a long time to come up, and none of the keys work.  I can route Jaws to PC and find some gibberish, but nothing is there in regular mode.  I updated to the latest Adobe BC, but it didn’t help.  I think at least sometimes there’s an ad trying to get me to buy Adobe, covering everything else.
I know that’s not very helpful, but you’re not alone.

Hi all,

When I press the Alt key trying to bring up the menu bar in Adobe Reader, Jaws isn't reading.  I presume this means the shortcut isn't working.  When I use the left and right arrow keys to make Jaws read the menus, it isn't working, either.  The only shortcut key that's working is Alt F to bring up the File menu, not the menu I'm looking for! :-(  I googled it to no avail.  I installed the latest Jaws update today.  I also checked for updates in Adobe, but there aren't any available.  Does anybody know what might be going on?

Thanks,
Serena
