Hi. I wondered about that. but based on that assumption, I tried to access the
"send" button that the company's rep said shows up on that page. No luck. I
wouldn't have thought it was part of the PDF file, but a control outside it.
Well, since I can't share the website with the list, I'll leave it here. I do
wish there were a way to stop the PDF accessibility conversion dialog from
taking over, whether or not the original PDF file is there.
Thanks.

message it is a jaws thing, but the original p d f is on the screen to be saved
or converted to text or printed. have a sighted person look for you

George, this sounds like a good answer, but I've gone through the entire tools
and all other file menus in the initial Adobe window without finding the option
not to open in the Internet. I did find the option not to open in the Web
browser, but it was already unchecked.

open a blank adobe reader window
go to tools and accessability settings
find the place where it lets you choose to open in the internet or not and
choose not to open in the internet.

Hi, Dave. No luck, whether with JAWS right click, the applications key or
shift-F10.

Adrian,
I presume you've tried to right click on the link first, to see if you can save
it?

Subject: Halting a PDF Accessibility Conversion
Hi. A website links to a PDF file I need to forward to someone. When I click on
the link, I am immediately given the dialog for making a PDF file accessible to
a screenreader. I can find no way to download the document to my system, nor
can I interrupt the accessibility process. When I select "cancel," a message
appears: "Alert: Document unavailable." (As an aside, when I allow the process
to go forward, it never finishes.)
How can I suspend accessibility conversion so that the file is on my screen,
even though I might not be able to read it with JAWS, so that I can right-click
on it and locate the "send" option?
