Cearbhall,

Whether it is tagged or not, is what I mean. (there are still lots of untagged pdf's out there.) Press control shift 5 for the Quick Accessibility Assistant. The preferences dialogue (ctrl k). Large pdf's are a problem for screen-readers, any way you slice it.

Flor,

I'll definitely try your suggestion. How would I know if the document has
been structured access?
What accessible features should I expect in the file?


All the best,


Cearbhall

Cearbhall,

In the Reader preferences setting, change the number of pages from 50 to 10.
This seems to help for large documents. Is the document structured
accessibly? if it isn't, there are other things you can try.

Dear All,

I have received a tutorial in Adobe PDF which is 44 mb in length. I
tried to
load it up yesterday and it took 15 minutes to load in adobe. Then
when I
tried to navigate the file Windows gave a loud "chunk" sound and the
program
crashed!

Is it me? Is there any better way to manage large PDF files with JAWS
or
NVDA?

All the best,


Cearbhall
