certainly when i read the status line it is going from page to page but still
seems to be skipping parts of the document.
i will try and change the options when the untagged dialogue comes up and see
what happens.

If the document has a multi-column layout, I often have to change the reading
order to 'left to right, top to bottom'. I wonder if there are columns which
are being read non-consecutively. If you read the status line, you can see if
you really are skipping pages, or if the movement to the next page is working
properly. If you tell Adobe to deliver the entire document in that starting
dialog, you can just read from beginning to end without ever worrying about
pages.

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
