I think that would open up a whole can of worms.  There really should be a list totally dedicated for this.

Hello Jaws Listers,

I have a question.

Can I post my fundraiser for the Foundation Fighting Blindness for the Pittsburgh chapter, or is that not allowed?

Thanks,

Jeff Lukacsena

thank you,

Does the process you describe require use of Scripps for jaws? If so, do you provide those?

Thank you.

Ah yeah, that’s been going on for a while. Just another barely competent scam. Well, I guess some people must be taken in or they wouldn’t bother, but I’ve never seen any of these that aren’t really transparent.

Hi All,

Just thought I'd alert folks, and pass this on...

People's Facebook accounts are getting hacked and the hackers will contact their friends posing as your friend, through Messenger letting them know about a grant they received, and that there is an agent who will help you to get a grant too.

One way to find out if it is a hack, You can message the person asking for the answer to a question that only that person would know, that did not come up on FB, like the name of your cat or something, and they will be revealed as the hacker.

I was contacted by the hacker of my sister-in-law's account on this today.

Eventually they get to asking you for your personal information, and that is when I knew it was a scam.

So I looked it up on-line, and I found references to the same scam.

Yes, and that is a very unfortunate thing and I wish there were a way to choose whether a photo should be sent as a proper attachment or as an embedded attachment which are much harder to access.

I will do some testing by sending things from my iPhone to myself.

I’ve only experienced this with photos that Apple seems to mostly imbed now….

Last night’s example was a .zip folder containing 3 PDF files with text and some report forms.

I’ve noticed this also with Word documents that are sent and attached in e-mails sent via IPhones.

That is very interesting.

Are these photos or some other file type?

I’ve not noticed that.  If it is at all reproduceable, I’d submit feedback to FS support.

I’ve actually noticed the reverse situation too at times.

It seems that whenever someone sends me an e-mail with an attachment, using an IPhone, Jaws does not announce the existence of an attachment, even though an attachment is cleary there and can be accessed via shift tab.

I’m using Windows 10, Microsoft 365, and the latest build of Jaws 2021 here.

Hi List,

First, I tried to download Acrobat Adobe DC. It said the file on my computer was the most recent.

Then I tried to uninstall Adobe Acrobate. I could not find it under programs in the control panel.

Then, I remembered I had a disc for Kurzweil 100. I had to uninstall it a while back to conserve memory, then my Windows had to be reinstall due to not allowing Windows update to run correctly. I called the Microsoft Disability line a couple of weeks ago and they helped me to reinstall Windows 10.

So then I ran the install of Kurzweil, they asked for my serial number, and it’s not on the DVD cover like they used to put that in Braille. So I had to go to my old Dell laptop wait for about 10 minutes to get it to boot, then open Kurzweil over there, and copy the serial number.

Then I got Kurzwel up on my Lenovo laptop and typed in the serial number.

Then I pulled the PDF into Kurzweil and then saved it as a text file.

That took a total of 1.5 hours.

Adobe is on Lenovo, but there is no Save as text, so I will just be using Kurzweil.

Next step is to try and get my Lenovo laptop to recognize my scanner. I have a stack of books that I could not find on Bookshare. Does anyone recommend any other book websites that I can look up books and download them in BRF, Word, or text, EPub, no Kindle.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi, Curtis and Gerald. I don't think much of the Save as Text option in the file menu of Adobe Acrobat DC. On some of my documents, once I convert the pdf to text, each word of the converted text file is on a new line. The pdf did not read this way, with each word on a separate line.

What I do instead is this,

1. Make sure Adobe Acrobat is set to read the entire document.

2. Open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat DC.

3. Once all the text is displayed, press CONTROL plus A to select the entire text.

4. Copy selected text to the clipboard with CONTROL plus C.

5. Close the document.

6. Open a blank text file in Notepad.

7. Paste the text residing on the clipboard into the blank document, and save it.

8. Voila! you have converted your pdf into a readable text file.

Hello Jeff:

In Acrobat Reader DC, there is a save as text button in the file menu. At least, I see that button in the version I am running, which should be the most recent.

Warmly,

Curtis Chong

Hi List,

I have a quick question on Adobe.

I am able to open PDF, but I cannot seem to save them as text files, so I can edit them.

There is a Save As button on the file menu. But it only seems to save the files as PDF.

Anyone know how to change this.

Thanks,

Jeff
