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?
