Hi Phil/George and all,
I'm getting more and more baffled. I've uninstalled the Adobe program and
then put it back, but when I'm logged on, I can't open it. I just get the
message, "Adobe has encountered a problem and has to close'. When my wife
is logged on, there's no trouble at all. She could happily set all the
controls that would make her non-existent assistive technology run
perfectly. If she logs on in my name and closes Jaws, there is still the
same problem. What could it be? Seemingly, it must be some setting,
possibly something that one of the techies thought desirable to make Jaws
run better.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Colin

Ok Colin, Irene and anyone else interested,
In Acrobat reader 7 there is an accessibility setup assistant.
It is on the help menu.
When in Acrobat reader,:
1. alt+h then t to open the assistant.
2. You can use your cursor keys to select the check box you need to set
screen reader accessibility options or screen magnifier or all accessibility
options.
3. Tab once to land on a button called use recommended settings and skip
the rest of the set up.
4. Press this button and that will make the necessary setting for you and
end the setup.
One of the recommended settings is to stop PDF files from being displayed in
the browser. This is, I suspect, Irene's problem.
HTH,
Phil Medway.

Thanks Phil,
I'll set my wife on to this one. She's more likely to tick all the right
boxes than I am.

Hi Irene,
A lot of intranet sites use the basic version of Acrobat reader rather than
the full version which is the one you need.
The following link will provide you with a wealth of information on the
creation of accessible PDF documents and a link to the download of the
version of the reader which you require.
http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/main.html
The download link on this page is at a level 4 heading.
The download is a two stage process and you need to ensure that the combo
boxes are set to the appropriate selections for your system. Also a couple
of check boxes are ticked by default which you probably don't want. Namely
Adobe photo album and, I think, Yahoo tool bar.
If you need further information or help, please contact me directly or come
back to the list.
HTH,
Phil Medway.

Hi all
Apologies to those of you who have already seen this mail on another
list. I thought I'd try here as there has recently been some discussion
on Adobe Reader. Hope someone can help.
Having a problem reading some PDF documents from my employer's intranet
site. If the document opens in the same window, it's OK but, if it
tries to open in a new window, Adobe Reader seems to come up briefly,
then close again. Colleagues using the same version of Adobe Reader are
not having this problem so could it be something to do with the presence
of a screen reader (Jaws in this case)?
Look forward to hearing from you.
