It would be easier to debug if we knew what link on what webpage in what browser with what version of JAWS is causing the problem.
The fact Adobe Reader is starting up immediately strongly suggests that Vicki did not use the "Save as" option in the context menu.

She could also produce the same menu by pressing either Shift F10 or the Context Menu key just to the left of her right control key. However, she says below that she *has* tried right clicking on it, by which I assume she means she got that menu and took the option to download the file, but got these odd error messages. I have done this sort of thing often, and never have received such messages. So I think there's something wrong that she needs to find out, and not her neglecting to do the right thing.So I think rightr left clicking----- Original Message ----- From: "Darrell Shandrow" <nu7i@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 11:42 AM Subject: Re: pdf document on website Hi Vicki, Here's an idea: 1. Tab to the link. 2. Route JAWS to PC cursor with JAWS Key + Minus. 3.

It shows up as a link, and when I either try to enter on it, spacebar, left click or right click, I get the same message that it's an untagged document and needs to be prepared for reading. It also says that my assistive technology will not work while this is being done. Then the window closes, and nothing happens. It's not saved, and I can't open it on the page either. any ideas? I'm using JAWS 8 with IE 6 and Adobe reader 7.0. Thanks. Vicki --
