Hi Barbara
Via windows:
windows key default apps tab to set default by app tab to list box arrow to Adobe Acrobat reader tab to manage button press enter tab to .pdf press enter tab to Adobe and press enter close window
alternatively:
Open Adobe Reader, then select “Edit” > “Preferences“. Select “General“ Choose the “Select as Default PDF Handler” button. Select “Continue“, then follow the steps provided. Let Windows do its thing, then restart the computer.

Dan – thanks for checking it out – I think that you are right, somehow Edge was over-ridding Adobe. But, in the meantime, Bill White gave me his phone # and walked me through another way to change it – we went to a PDF document in Explorer and went through an “open with” dialogue which allowed me to change it for all PDF documents.
Again, thanks for helping me figure this out.

Thanks Dan – I am using Windows 10 (JAWS 18) and I pressed space bar and then enter, closed it and then tried opening a PDF document and it still opened with Edge. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.
In the meantime, I realized that, instead of just hitting enter on the file I want to open (from explorer file list), I can choose “open with” from shift F12 and that seems to get around the problem. Thoughts on this? o From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Dan Longmore

Hi all- My computer had been set to open all PDFs in Adobe But when I changed my default browser from IE to Chrome, my computer changed my PDF reader from Adobe to Edge which I cannot get JAWS to read. .
I tried going to applications/settings, change defaults and gone to list of applications. I pressed enter on Adobe but can’t figure out how to complete the process.
Any suggestions?

Re: setting Adobe as default PDF reader
Just go to a PDF file in File Explorer, press Alt + Enter for Properties and then Shift + tab which should put you on the “Change” button. Activate it and select Adobe Acrobat Reader DC then make sure to always use this app, tab to OK and activate it, tab to OK for the file properties and activate it and that’s it.

I recall that option from the past. Looks like it’s call archiving now. I found my mailbox size on the Account Info and it says to decrease your mailbox size by deleting messages and archiving. The auto archiving settings are under File > Options . Go to the Advanced tab of the Options dialog and a archive button is there to select your settings. Not as straight forward as the compact function from the past, but probably more customizable.

does Waterfox still use the old extension API? I know a few people who've switched away from other FF forks when that API was security patched, but wasn't sure if Waterfox was one of them.

Hi.

I just opened waterfox, went to a page on The Register (tech news site), and invoked the reader view with alt-ctrl-r. It seems to be working. Perhaps try it with this page: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/02/11/microsoft_roundup/ The reader will not work on all pages, only on ones that the browser thinks are formatted like an article of some kind, I think.

Hi.
This happens to me sometimes too, though not consistently. Basically when you are reading a message, the virtual cursor is on by default if it’s an html message. When you hit reply and start typing, sometimes it doesn’t switch off. Hit insert-z and it should turn off.

This happens when I use control+r or control+shift+r to reply to an open email message in Outlook 2016 (this happens with both Jaws 2018 and Jaws 2019, but inconsistently in both cases). When I start to type my reply, Jaws acts as if the virtual cursor is enabled, and I tested recently and discovered that in fact the virtual cursor *has* been enabled without me activating it. So naturally, when I start typing, Jaws acts as if the virtual cursor is on because it is on. But how does it get turned on when I didn’t turn it on? Any ideas? Thanks. -Amy

Re: The best internet browser to use with JAWS.

JM,

The vast majority of developers that I am in contact with see Chrome as the “only browser that matters“ and the browser that everyone should be using. They came for the built-in development tools, they stayed for the convenience of having google store all of their information in one place (and they think that’s a feature). I hear “Firefox is an edge-case” and “Firefox is disappearing“ so do we really need to make it work in Firefox? Now that MS Edge is going to be running Chrome (Chromium) under the hood, there are even less browser options for us. So, to people I care about, I encourage them to do this one small thing to help protect their personal information: make Firefox your default browser. Google makes pretty good stuff, but it isn’t free; we pay by giving them our information. Sorry, that was more than you asked for. Take care, Thomas

Instead, pressing f9 does the trick. I think I tested it once so far in Waterfox and, indeed, f9 does not seem to do anything. I will try accessing the reader through the menu or the alt-ctrl keystroke and see. BTW, as nice as the reader function is, everybody should be aware that it’s not perfect at determiningg what is “useful content” on a page, and you may occasionally miss something important while using it. It is nice for reading articles, just be aware that it’s not 100% dependable.
