Hi Adrian, what if you just let Adobe Reader do its thing, and then save the PDF file somewhere on your harddrive? Choose the "save copy as..." option from the file menu, and the PDF will be on your drive. Then, just forward the file as is to whomever. The file will not be altered, if that's what you're concerned about.

A website links to a PDF file I need to forward to someone. When I click on the link, I am immediately given the dialog for making a PDF file accessible to a screenreader. I can find no way to download the document to my system, nor can I interrupt the accessibility process. When I select "cancel," a message appears: "Alert: Document unavailable." (As an aside, when I allow the process to go forward, it never finishes.) How can I suspend accessibility conversion so that the file is on my screen, even though I might not be able to read it with JAWS, so that I can right-click on it and locate the "send" option?
