Re: unable to read PDF
Paul Sandoval
Sieghard,
I want to thank you so much for this suggestion. I began struggling with this a couple of days ago and couldn’t figure out what was causing the problem. I remember doing this in the past, but it has been a long time since I’ve had to change this setting.
Thank you again. Paul.

If you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader do the following:
1. Go to Edit > Preferences, the keyboard shortcut is Control + K 2. In the categories list arrow down to Security (Enhanced) or you can also press “S” 3 times to get there 3. Tab once and you hear “Enable Protected Mode at startup”, if it says this is checked press the spacebar to uncheck it. You will get the following message/prompt: Adobe Acrobat Reader dialog For changes to take effect, you need to manually restart the application. Are you sure you want to continue? 4. Tab to Yes and activate it, then press Shift + Tab 3 times to get to the OK button and activate it. 5. Now close Acrobat Reader and reopen your document.

Hello, I’m using Jaws2018 and Windoes10. I opened a PDF file and Jaws doesn’t read anything. I didn’t even get the message where Jaws recognizes the PDF and gives option to scan it. I tried to save it as as a MS word file and I get the message I can download the Adobe version that allows me to convert. I use to be able to convert and something happened that no longer allows me to do so. Any thoughts of what I can do? Thanks, Kevin

Re: JAWS, Windows Sound Events & What They Do
Mike B
Okay, found the sound event I
needed. The, Drop , event is the one you want to assign a sound to to get
a sound when pasting. I had tried this event earlier without success but,
the 4th time worked like a charm. Thanks much.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers! I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Re: Jaws 2019 not giving background color in Excel 2016 or 2019
Van Lant, Robin
I do not have a sheet with conditional formatting, but I did just fill a cell with red. You are not the first person I’ve heard say there was an issue with JAWS reporting the background color in Excel. I’m still on JAWS 2019 1810 here at work and it seems to be working correctly on this version. Not sure which update broke this function.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to use Conditional formatting in both Excel 2016 and 2019. I choose to use a formula to decide which cells are formatted, choose cells in sheet 1 that do not equal cells in sheet 2, and choose to fill the cells matching the criteria with a red background fill. The conditional formatting is working, but using Jaws 2019, I have no way of knowing whether or not it is working, because Jaws reads “text color black, background color white” when I press Insert + F, and “Black on white” when I press Insert + 5 on cells that have different values. If I load NVDA and press Insert+ F on these cells, NVDA says “black on bright red background”.
Has anyone else noticed this? I am getting so frustrated with Jaws not being able to do basic things like this when a free screen reader like NVDA is able to do it with no problem!
Thanks for any feedback.

Re: unable to read PDF
Ashleigh Piccinino
Hello Kevin
I don’t know about converting A PDF document. However, can you check for me and see if jaws says, “empty document. “ of course, this is when you either up or down arrow through the document. If jaws says, “empty document, “but A cited helper knows there is something on your screen come The document could a scanned image. When pDFs are like this, you can usually press this hotkey. The insert key on your number pad (if you have a regular desktop sized keyboard) and the Space bar is a layered command in jaws. Press these two keys followed by the letter O to get to OCR.You are still not done. Press the D for a document. The screen reader will say, “OCR started. “It might take a while, but your document should come up, reading as if it were in word. Then, you can read through it, select it and pasted into another program such as words, of course after copying, or just hit the escape key. after you are done reading your OCR results, press escape Key. I hope this helps, and sorry for any miss spellings. Other than my instructions, I do not know how to help. Sorry about that. Thank you for your question, and I would be glad to help again if you need it, Ashleigh S Piccinino
