[blindLaw] Adobe Reader DC and JAWS

[Jorge Paez]

Hello everyone.
For those of you using Jaws with Adobe Reader DC, how stable is it?
I used to use Adobe with JAWS a while back and the main problem I had was that any document bigger than 6 pages or so tended to crash both Adobe and JAWS.
When I would open documents that big, it would bring up a dialogue with detailed accessibility settings, then it would say document processing and crash.
However Wednesday I had an interesting experience with NVDA, where I opened a file that was 727 pages long and the screenreader behaved just fine, so I was wondering if they had fixed their interaction with JAWS yet as well.

Thanks,

Jorge

So you want to be a public defender?  
Don’t do it for the money, there isn’t enough.
Don’t do it for prestige, you won’t get any. 
Don’t do it for the thrill of victory, victory rarely comes.

Do it for love. Do it for justice. Do it for self-respect. 
Do it for the satisfaction of knowing you are serving others, 
defending the Constitution, living your ideals.

The work is hard. The law is against you. 
The facts are against you. The judges are often against you. 
Sometimes even your clients are against you.

But it is a great job – exhilarating, energizing, rewarding. 
You get to touch people’s hearts 
and fight for what you believe in every day.”
