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.

Regards and good luck,

Nermin

Subject: Halting a PDF Accessibility Conversion


Hi. 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?
