Douglas,
I've pasted this from JFW Lite:
You will find some PDF files on the web. To download the PDF to your hard
drive instead of having it open in your browser window, first run Acrobat
Reader.
Press CTRL+K to open the Preferences dialog. When the dialog opens, you are
placed
in a list box containing several different selections.
Press I twice to move to the Internet page. If you are using Acrobat/Reader
5,
press O instead to move to Options.
Press ALT+D to move to and clear the Display PDF in Browser check box.
Press ENTER to accept the change and close the dialog
That way when you enter on a link for a PDF it will give you a
download dialog and you can save the PDF to your hard drive. Then just
enter on the filename and it will open locally in Adobe Reader.
I believe you are a HAL User, but as the above seemed pretty Unbiased Re:
screen-readers, thought I'd post it.
HTH.
Cheers,
Mark

Subject: [access-uk] Downloading PDf documents
I have always found using IE 6 that the easiest course of action when I
want to read a PDf document from a web page is to open the context
menu, choose the Save Target As option and download the file to my
HD for later reading in the Adobe Reader. But yesterday I
encountered a file the link to which had no Save Target as in its
context menu. Does anyone know of a work around? I tried activating
the link in the hope that it would appear in Adobe 6.02 but after losing
speech for several minutes I heard the message "External Window"
bbut then the system froze.
Should it be possible to read such documents directly without first
saving to HD and if so, is special configuration necessary in either IE6
or the Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Douglas
