[jaws-uk] Re: PROBLEMS WITH ADOBE READER 8.0

I believe a trip into the Adobe Settings are required here to resolve
that kind of issue:
1    Open Adobe Reader 8.0 directly not by trying to open a document
this way you should avoid the hang.
2    In Adobe Reader press control+K for "preferences".
3    Use arrows to ring the "reading" options.
4    Now press tab until you reach the combo box "page vs document" and
change this to "only read currently visible page" there is a very
similar option which only applies itself to large documents make sure
you are on the one that applies the reading of one page at a time to all
documents.
5    Tab through to "OK" and press spacebar on it.
 
That should conclude the changes you need to make.  Try a document and
see how it goes.  The other thing is to get Adobe Reader to updating
itself, the latest version is 8.1.2.

I experience the same at times, but I get around by routing cuser to
jaws and jaws to pc and then click on start, which processes the
document and lets me read the document.

        Hello, 
         
        I am having problems in using Adobe Reader version 8.0. I have
the latest version of Jaws, however when I click on even a short PDF
document I receive the message "alert, document being processed" after
which my PC just hangs, i.e. the document can not be read irrespective
of how long I wait for processing to be completed. 
         
        I thought that I'd downloaded all accessibility features but
maybe not. Any help gratefully received. 
         
        Thanks, 
         
        Kevin
