naboukhad,
why don't you uninstall adobe and reinstall a fresh version to fix that
problem, I use the stock adobe all the time and have no problems with it as
far as straight operation goes.

Hi. As an alternative, I suggest that you use a PDF to Word converter.
Many times I wait for a document to open with Adobe Reader, and when
it finishes loading it crashes and says "adobe reader has stopped
working".
An accessible converter is "Very PDF to word converter". Website:
www.verypdf.com. You convert once and use MSWord then.
Hope this was useful info.

If you don't have it it is not an option.

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.
