Instead of opening an attachment with Adobe, I now automatically save the
attachment to my hard drive (in this case, My documents) where I can perform
OCr via the applications key. would that help?

Subject: reading PDF files in a browser
HI all,
I have a new situation. I'm getting a newsletter that is mailed as a PDF
attachment. I do the view in browser option, and get the message that says
the document needs to be prepared. Then it is ready to go and Jaws tells me
it's in a table with no headings. When I try to read it, though, nothing
makes sense. I don't know how to move to different columns, and just
reading a line will give me some whole words and some words that are
essentially being spelled out rather than read. The upshot is that I can't
follow anything. I can ask this particular person to send me the original
word processor files instead of the PDF file, but it would be nice to know
in general if there is a fix for this.
I'm using JFW 12, Office 2010, not sure which Adobe Reader but it's only a
month or so old.
Thanks, Bonnie
