[nfbcs] PDF

[Wunder, Gary]

Tracy, I am using JAWS 10 and it is not doing the trick, but you are a ways behind in terms of JAWS functionality.  I need to check my version of Acrobat - maybe that is the reason I am not seeing the tables Steve can navigate, and perhaps your problem is a combination of the two.

I did, and the table still did not show up as any kind of comprehensible table.  I've never gotten tables in PDF docs to behave in any kind of sensible manner, from my paycheck to bus or program schedules.  If anyone knows how it's done, I'd be delighted to learn the trick.
My problem is that the column headers don't appear to have any relation to the data, and/or that each element is on a separate line.
