That was the first thing I tried. It's perplexing. George's idea of preventing
Adobe going into access mode on the Internet made conceptual sense to me, but
it didn't seem to work, either. Now I'm wondering if Adobe's accessibility mode
can be suspended, but I didn't recognize such an option in the file menus.

Adrian,
Maybe just before you click on that icon, you unload JAWS. Then wait in
agonizing silence for a couple minutes, then minimize IE, and launch JAWS. Pop
back in and see what you got.
Grasping, at this point.

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?
