Hi all,
I start to use Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
to convert pdf in a more accessible format.
It works quite well, even if for now I don't have a lots of practices with this software.

Ah, but perhaps Fox It reader hasn't got the code to tell screen readers to activate its virtual buffer. I found Adobe Reader 9 to be reasonably fast at opening PDF files and of course is accessible.

Hi,

Does anyone know a better and accessible pdf reader than Adobe Reader?
(That opens faster).
I heard that Foxit reader is accessible with Window Eyes. I have tried it with Jaws, and it it is faster indeed, but I found that it is not accessible with neither Jaws 9 nor Jaws 6. 

But I have read that it is accessible and it respects the section 508 at:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/solutions/accessibility/index.html

Does anyone know more?

Thanks.

Octavian
