I think you can set up Acrobot to be more friendly with screen readers when you 
install it. it's not that great, but it helps, if only a bit. did you have that 
option presented to you?

  hello list.

  i recently installed adobe acrobat reader 7 and haven't made any changes to 
settings in it.

  this is the first time i have used an acrobat reader so am unsure exactly 
what i am doing.

  when i open up a pdf file a dialogue box appears saying that the file is 
untagged.

  i have various options and i keep them at the recommended ones and then hit 
enter on start.

  the document duly loads up and using my control key plus page up and down i 
can read the content.

  or so it seems.

  after the first page finishes i press control page down and it start to read 
the next, but it is as ifjaws has missed a section or paragraph of text as the 
second page doesn't seem to follow on from the first.

  now, are there any settings that i should change to let jaws work a little 
better with this version of acrobat reader or maybe i have missed a keystroke 
for the general reading of the document.

  all help is appreciated.

  stephen
