Hi Ken,

Not much consolation for you but just to say that I don't seem to have any
such difficulties.  Nor, I'm afraid, do I have any suggestions for obvious
ways around your problem.

Hi all,
The dreaded PDF, bane of my life.  Are my experiences worse than everyone
else?

When I open a PDF, things work as normal.  I may or may not be able to read
the contents, depending on who produced it.  But when I alt F4 to close
Adobe Reader, Jaws goes silent.  I haven't found any way to bring it back eg
hot keys, navigating by memory to the desk top and activating the icon etc
all fail.  I have to power down with the big button as even alt F4 from the
desk top does nothing.

Anyone else getting such dire consequences from opening PDFs, and if not any
suggestions what might serve me better.

I'm currently on Windows Vista, Jaws 11 (must get around to putting 12 in)
and whatever the last version of Reader was that I was able to load (was
prompted to upgrade recently but the whole process seemed to be inaccessible
- subject for another thread maybe).

Thanks for any help.

Ken
