Re: How to append digital signature to a pdf
Michael Mote
Hello all. I have followed this thread with interest mainly because I am in desperate need of learning how to set up PDF files with editable fields that are accessible and useable by fellow screen reader users. I don't want to high jack this thread. I would like some help on this however. If someone could email me privately, I would appreciate it very much.

Re: How to append digital signature to a pdf
Steve and Adekoya,
I cannot find any blessed way to activate the Fill & Sign using the keyboard, and even if I activated it with the mouse, the dropdown menu under the Sign option is not accessible either via the keyboard nor, when I mouse over it, does it read anything relevant (Add signature versus Add initials). Adobe has clearly done a poor job with accessibility in the Reader DC version of Acrobat Reader, which is a shame since they both invented the PDF format and had pretty much been "the gold standard" of accessibility with screen readers. Adekoya, what you had been asking about is an electronic signature, and I hate to even call it that. I do the same thing in Excel spreadsheets and it amounts to inserting a scanned image of your actual signature. There are some entities that will accept that, but many will not. I have found that PDF-XChange Editor has become more accessible than it had been at its release, and it has true digital signature capability, but that is not the same thing as inserting an image of a signature, and it is not supported in the free version of the program. I very seldom edit PDFs, and the ones I have to sign, such as my tax forms, generally download as editable for the form fields and allow me to save the filled-out form, including a typed "signature" which is accepted. If this is for a PDF form that you will use again and again and again, and can manage the rest of it in your PDF Editor of choice, this is a time where a sighted assistant could insert the electronic scanned signature into a blank copy, then that could be your template each time you need to use it in the future. I'm actually downright shocked at how inaccessible Reader DC is for other than strictly reading. -- 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: How To Re-Read Download File Path
Bill White
Hi, Tom. If using JAWS, and Windows 10,
1. Open Control Panel. 2. Open File Explorer Options. 3. Use CONTROL plus TAB to navigate to the View tab. 4. Look for an option which says:
“Show File path in Title Bar”
5. Press SPACE to turn this option on. 6. TAB to Apply, and press ENTER. 7. TAB to OK, and press ENTER. 8. When needing a file path, navigate to the file. 9. Press INSERT plus T to read the title. The file path will now be in the title with INSERT plus T.

Hello, everyone.
Occasionally, when I download a file from Firefox, I get an alert saying that the file has been stored in a temporary file folder on my computer’s C. Drive.
The file path is often quite long, and I sometimes have to download the file several times in order to get enough of an idea of the path to actually find the file.
I tried using the Jaws cursor to re-read the file path, but was not successful.
Is there a better way to re-read the download file path?
I’m sure there’s a way to go into Firefox and tell it where I want all downloaded files to go, but I haven’t figured that procedure out yet.
Thanks for any help.

Re: How to append digital signature to a pdf

I have not tried this with Adobe Reader DC and don't try everything when it comes to programs that have been historically well supported by screen readers and that have been very largely accessible. I'll try to figure out what the bump in the road happens to be and whether there's a keyboard shortcut or other method around it. -- 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.

In Firefox, if you go to Options > General, and then make many tabs, you’ll get to where you can set the download location. I changed mine from “Downloads” to “Desktop.”

it has no keyboard shortcut. Can you provide this. I have tried to open my Adobe to do this. I was able to get to the fill and sign but could not proceed from there because JAWS could not read the next set of page that open afterward. Please, help. Thank.

Re: How to append digital signature to a pdf

Digital signing is a thing of its own and requires no image file of any kind. If the entity accepting the file allows digital signatures you can simply insert one on the file itself using your PDF reader or editor of choice (if it's got the digital signing feature, and most do).
