HEY FOLKS, THANKS FOR THE VERY HELPFUL INFO. BECAUSE OF THIS, I FOUND OUT THAT SOMEHOW ADOBE HADN'T BEEN RECOGNIZED AS MY DEFAULT PDF READER. BUT IF I HADN'T BEEN CHECKING THE STUFF YOU HAD SUGGESTED, I WOULD NEVER HAD FOUND THE DEFAULT PDF READER BUTTON. IT SEEMS THAT IT HAD NEVER BEEN INSTALLED OR AT LEAST NOT PROPERLY. AFTER HAVING INSTALLING OR REINSTALLING IT, ALL WORKS JUST FINE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO. STEWART

Hi cecropia64,

I ran into a problem with a fellow list member who was having trouble with
Adobe running Jaws8. We installed Adobe X / 10& it worked very well with
Jaws8. The latest version is Adobe Reader X / 10. If you install it , you
will need to follow the steps below to make sure it works well with Jaws.

You need to disable protected view first to get it to work well with Jaws.

Do the following:

1. From either your desktop or start menu, press enter on Adobe. The
Adobe window is now open, press control + K, to open preferences. Another
way to
get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press Alt
+ E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences,& press enter.

3. When preferences opens you will be in a tree view and should be on the
General page, if not arrow up or down until you have General highlighted.
It
is #4 of 29. Tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode at
startup, uncheck it, choose yes on the warning you will get to continue.
Then, tab to okay, press enter to save your changes / close preferences,&
Alt + F4 to close Adobe.

Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike

Don't remember which version of Adobe Reader works best with JAWS 9. But I
bet that's the problem. If you have an older version of Adobe Reader you
might try that, or try reinstalling the version you have. And what version
is that, by the way?

HI FOLKS. SMALL PROBLEM. I'M USING JAWS NINE AND WINDOWS XP. LATELY, IT
SEEMS LIKE WHENEVER I TRY TO GET A PDF FILE TO READ, ADOBE COMES UP BUT
THE
FILE ITSELF DOESN'T. IT SEEMS TO STOP ONCE ACROBAT LOADS. ANY
SUGGESTIONS?
SHOULD I UNINSTALL AND THEN REINSTALL ACROBAT OR IS THERE AN EARLIER
VERSON
I SHOULD BE USING. IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE FOR AWHILE, BUT NOW
NOTHING.THANKS
