Hi Catherine,Have a look at the Help menu in Adobe Reader. In version 8 there is an option to check for updates, but I can't remember if it existed in previous versions.

Hi both, Thanks for the suggestions. I will download the latest version of the reader and see what happens with that. That is - if I can find the download, which at the moment I can't. I went to www.adobe.com and clicked on downloads and can't see where to go from there. Can anyone tell me where to go after that?

It does work fine for me butit doesn't like documents larger than about four pages normally, but itoccasionally reads larger ones. I just wonder whether this is something todo with the way the document was created in the first place. 3 I would yell at your Council to make this document more generally accessible to blind people. We all don't have computers, the Chester andDistrict branch of the NFB successfully campaigned for this in our area and the City Council together with a couple of the north east Wales Councils are now aware of such a need, and we have access to the documents for green and pink weeks in braille and large print, which covers, plastic, drinnks cansand paper, and the white bag scheme, glass and batteries. Don't know how helpful this is, but good luck with No. 3, keep pestering!

I've got Adobe Reader 7 - is this the latest version? Should I instal the latest version if not? 2. I get incredibly irritated with JAWS saying "graphic" all over the place when reading PDFs. Is there any way I can stop this? I've gone into graphics in configuration manager and set it to say no graphics but still it says "graphic" when I'm reading through the text. 3. Does anyone feel like looking at this damn pdf to see if they can find out which recycling week we're in in my area (this pdf contains a timetable of "green" weeks and "blue" weeks which I can't find/fathom with JAWS).
