I would think you would have to reinstall it. I don't use reader much, but 
that's what I'd do.

  yes i had that option but just used the recommended settings - is there a way 
to get back into that setting?

  or is it just a case of re installing the program?

    I think you can set up Acrobot to be more friendly with screen readers when 
you install it. it's not that great, but it helps, if only a bit. did you have 
that option presented to you?

      hello list.

      i recently installed adobe acrobat reader 7 and haven't made any changes 
to settings in it.

      this is the first time i have used an acrobat reader so am unsure exactly 
what i am doing.

      when i open up a pdf file a dialogue box appears saying that the file is 
untagged.

      i have various options and i keep them at the recommended ones and then 
hit enter on start.

      the document duly loads up and using my control key plus page up and down 
i can read the content.

      or so it seems.

      after the first page finishes i press control page down and it start to 
read the next, but it is as ifjaws has missed a section or paragraph of text as 
the second page doesn't seem to follow on from the first.

      now, are there any settings that i should change to let jaws work a 
little better with this version of acrobat reader or maybe i have missed a 
keystroke for the general reading of the document.

      all help is appreciated.

      stephen
