Thanks. I do appreciate that, but as I said, I am looking for alternatives. It
isn't right that we jaws users are stuck with certain applications, but that's
a discussion of a whole other sort.

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.
