PdF files have been accessible since JAWS version 4 at least with Adobe
version 5. While the contents of some Adobe files may be inaccessible in the
same way that the contents of some Word files are inaccessible, Adobe files
have been potentially reasonably accessible now for a number of years.
Unfortunately the myth that all PDF files are inaccessible is a myth which
sadly has taken too much hold.

"A PDF file is accessed in the same way as any other attachment."
Are you saying it's irrelevant which version of Windows used,
and irrelevant which version of jaws used?
Maybe this is the crux of issue, some people are forgetting that not
everyone has up-to-date software, and not everyone has same knowledge of
their system.
Everyone is different in terms of abilities, knowledge, and access to
training.
It's the same sort of issue for mobility.
Just as one may argue: "get your access I.T training then you are
ok" One could also argue: "Get a guide dog, or learn how to use
long cane then you are ok out there"
Sadly real world not as simple as that is it!
