Many times PDFs are named oddly so it won't be the name you're expecting. This is especially true for bank statements and tax documents.


You can also try looking for any alert messages that Chrome pops up. If I'm downloading a PDF and it gets blocked for some reason, there's usually an alert about it. if not, some plugin is blocking it, like NoScript.

Hi All,

 

I am using JAWS 17 and have recently switched to Google Chrome. Most things work well, but I can’t seem to sort out how to deal with a PDF that I want to access from the web. When I click on the document link, I get a button that says, “Open embedded document”. When I hit that button, nothing seems to happen and I can’t find the document. Sometimes I can later locate it in my downloads folder, but more often than not it is simply not locatable. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Cynthia
