Hi Claudia: Have you tried saving the document as text after first opening acrobat reader then the pdf document? That's how I've got around that problem. Send me a message if you need help.

Hello, I have difficulty reading PDF documents. When I try to open a document, I am told that the document is being formatted, but nothing ever happens. I'm using JFW 7.10 with Windows XP Pro. Any ideas or suggestions, as I need to read a PDF document, as part of an exam I need to take!
