thought I’d mention that Adobe DC cannot display some documents
that Reader 11 is able to show us without any problem.
It seems that Adobe DC is far more stringent when it comes to
homouring some of the PDF properties embeded into a file, one of them being
“Allow access for screen readers” or similar wording. When this is flagged
“false”, JAWS will not display the file, no matter what you try, whereas Reader
11 gives us access to the document.
Technically
speaking, Adobes implementation may be correct, but from an accessibility and
advocacy point of view, this behaviour is more than questionable and should be
communicated to Adobe immediately.
It
cannot stand unchallenged since I feel this is discriminating
behaviour.
