Re: Saving an pdf file
Tom, try again, and carefully read the options. It's not save link, but save link target or similar. I don't know what browser you're using so I can't give you the precise phrasing. Every single web browser supports direct saving of the file that is a link target.

sTried your suggestion. Focused on the PDF download link and hit enter on
the save link. It downloaded the Web page. Tom
Tom, If your goal is to have a copy of the PDF file saved to your computer, the easiest thing to do is, once you have focus on the link for said file, to hit the applications/menu key or SHIFT+F10 and choose the option usually something like, "Save link as," or, "Save target as," which directly downloads the file without opening it. You can then open it afterward with the reader of your choice. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Re: Saving an pdf file

It wasn’t checked but it is now. I restarted the computer but it still
doesn’t show in add on’s. It does however start with the accessibility routine
when I download a PDF document on a Web page but it won’t let me save the
document. Generally what I do is highlight the document and copy it to the clip
board and paste it into note pad. , however some manuals are too large to do
this. Tom

FW: [jaws-users] Update on the JAWS 2019 December Update release schedule

Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2018 4:04 PM To: jaws-users-list@groups.io Subject: [jaws-users] Update on the JAWS 2019 December Update release schedule
Greetings List,
As many of you may have heard on the FS Cast last week, our goal was to release a JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion 2019 December update this week. During our testing process there were a few last minute issues discovered by internal testing and the Private Beta Team which forced us to stop the release cycle and go back to address the issues. That work is completed now, and we are now starting the release testing cycle again. Generally, it takes us a few days to verify everything is cleared and at that point, we should be ready to post. Early next week is the new target for the December updates at this point.
Sorry for the delay, but I’m pleased our process caught the issues, and we avoided introducing anything unexpected with our users.
Thanks for understanding and please let people know we’ll be posting soon.
I’ll have more up to date info for those of you able to join us on FS OpenLine this week. Tune in on Thursday evening at 8 PM Eastern. For details on FS OpenLine and the instructions for joining us with Zoom, please visit: http://blog.freedomscientific.com/fsopenline/

Telling Internet Explorer How To Open PDF Files
See this article from Adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-in-browser.html
It contains the information necessary for you to either set IE to open PDFs within the browser or to force the use of whatever system PDF reader/viewer you prefer. Although the information presumes Adobe Reader the principles apply regardless of your reader of choice. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Re: Braille display and jaws problem
Hi Ari/all,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Well, I have had an ordeal when I bought my new Lenovo, excellent otherwise. I had latest jaws at the time, and an Active Braille from the German company Handytech. Despite my computer tech's struggling, it would not connect with either Bluetooth, or usb. It made several trips between Ioannina, my place of work, and Athens, some 300 miles, and when we thought things were fixed, it was the same, once it reached my end. Eventually, both display and computer were sent to handytech, again with no success, although the Germans were insisting it was Jaws' fault. To cut a long story, my computer tech, eventually discovered that the fault lay with Narrator, and one of its drivers, and it was really a Microsoft fault, which affects some, but not all, displays. Once narrator was removed, I have had not more that problem. Hope this helps, Greetings from Greece (perhaps your family's country of origin?), Takis

Announcing Tabs On A Line
munawarb@...
In NVDA, you are able to set an option that will tell you how many tabs a line is indented by. Is there such a feature in JAWS?
I've checked out Speech and Sound Schemes but when I use the Visual Studio (Indent) scheme in Visual Studio, I don't hear tab indications. My code uses standard tabbing where each indent is one tab (not two, 4 or 8 spaces as presented in Speech and Sound Schemes.) I see the speech and sound option for one tab is 0.125 inches. Isn't this a "dangerous" implementation since it's based on a hard-coded tab width (which of course doesn't work in VS?) It cant' be that a screen reader like this doesn't offer the ability to announce tabs, so can someone help me out here? How do I turn on tab announcements? I've recently switched back to JAWS after a few years away from it now that the pricing is more friendly and love what I'm seeing except for this one problem.

On this kind of topic, I've seen ads on Facebook
for extremely cheap Office 365, possibly claiming to be lifetime on sites like
Digital Upgrade Studio. I'm kind of skeptical that these are bad in some way,
but they keep popping up now and again on FB, the same outfit. I think the $11
deals on Ebay can be mostly legit in people wanting to get rid of stuff they no
longer use, but there's very little lifetime anything when it comes to
services.
