Thanks George, I'll check that with my lay-out guy.  Sounds like it might well 
be a runner.

  Hi Ian,

   

  What software are these PDFs being created from?  You say "committed to 
Quark" which suggests they might initially be prepared in something else?

   

  Does Quark have an HTML converter?  PageMaker (A rival to Quark) can do this, 
and the results are like reading a normal web page mistakes and all!

   

  George.

  To elaborate my problem, I have to finally proof read pages for a magazine 
before they're committed to Quark Express files for pre-press and printing.  It 
simply doesn't seem possible with Jaws V8 and PDF?  I'd imagine Quark is even 
less likely to be a runner?  does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?  Of 
course, the  whoe point of proofing is accuracy otherwise I'd print them and 
run them through K1000.

    Ian,

     

        As Adrian says, resolution isn't known to affect the accessibility of a 
PDF. The font face may be a factor though. Some fonts can be harder for a 
screen reader to pick up and interpret, particularly the more ornate ones. Just 
a thought.

     

    Regards,

    Tink.

    Does the resolution of a PDF file make any difference to Jaws 8['s ability 
to read it?
