well, I find that;

adobe 9.exe, works quite well,

you also can use a OCR program like kurzweil.

I find adobe 10x a little flaky, however as I indicated, adobe 9 works fine.

  Subject: Alternatives to Adobe reader that are jaws friendly


  Hello everyone.

  So I really hate adobe reader. It's ridiculously huge when all I want to do 
is read text, installs a speed launcher in memory that I don't want, and 
crashes almost every time I close it. There are a number of other programmes 
out there that sensible people use, like PDF XChange viewer, but I haven't 
heard much from jaws users on this subject. This list is pretty much my only 
contact with the screenreading community in general and I don't really have the 
time or inclination to try a bunch of programmes until I find one that works. I 
know adobe reader has special accessibility features and so abandoning their 
horrible software might not be as easy for us as it is for sighted users. Any 
thoughts? Thanks.
