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?
