hmm, thought it was a search field <wink>
at any rate, tab is deffinitely bad news as is stated here. the vo
keys are your best friend in preview.

Hello Russell and all:
To answer your last question first, when you get to the end of a
page use command right arrow to go forward and command left arrow to
go back a page.
Now, for a controversial suggestion (grin).
While working with PDFs and preview, stay away from the tab key
(wink). OK, all defenders of the tab key may now descend upon me
(grin).
Try using your Vo + arrow keys.
So, for example, if you find a page and read it, use command right
arrow to turn the page. If when you start reading it you find that
you are hearing the previous page again, perform a vo keys left
arrow to move off the page and then a vo keys right arrow to move
back onto the page and try reading again.
And, while I do not have that particular pdf in front of me, there
may be an edit field which seems to have no purpose (wink). If you
find one, enter the page number you want and press enter. It just
might take you to that page (grin).

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to read the VO Getting Started manual in PDF format. I
don't want to read the document from start to finish, but rather,
to go to pages that are relevant to what I'm doing at the time.
So, I look at the table of contents, find the page I want to go to,
press command option G and then type in the page number and press
return. I then find it difficult to locate the document. Sometimes
I VO right or left arrow and sometimes magically land in the
document on the page I chose, but other times I'm placed in the
document, but at the beginning. Sometimes I need to tab or shift
tab to find the text of the document.
When I do find the page I want, I read for a bit and then it gets
to the end of the page, and I can't figure out how to move to the
next page, so I end up back in the table of contents. Does anyone
have any tips to make reading PDF files a bit easier?
Thanks,
Russell
