Nermin, you address an important part of my concern, that the file won't be
altered. Thanks. For the record, initially I couldn't get Adobe to do its thing
because it got hung up in the conversion process. However, when I changed the
initial conversion setting from the one recommended to "raw text," conversion
went smoothly. The question remaining in my mind was what would be the contents
of the file I'd be sending after conversion had finished, and you've answered
it.
Again, thanks.

Hi Adrian,
what if you just let Adobe Reader do its thing, and then save the PDF file
somewhere on your harddrive? Choose the "save copy as..." option from the file
menu, and the PDF will be on your drive. Then, just forward the file as is to
whomever.
The file will not be altered, if that's what you're concerned about.
Regards and good luck,
Nermin

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?
