Adobe Reader XI with JAWS
The left mouse button is Numpad slash. On most keypads it's the second from the left. I, being an old geezer, keep 'em straight because back in the IBM 360 days an end-of-file was slash asterisk which

Hi Ted, If you know how to use Unix systems you can use pdftohtml under Cygwin. Cygwin is a very nice Unix (mostly Linux) environment that runs under Windows. It's significantly slower than real Linux

What you want is not a telephone keypad. As far as I, too, know, it doesn't exist. K1000 has a telephone keypad setting but that's not what's needed here. Good luck with the startup wizard. What I had

shrinking white space on a braille display
Hi Phil, The thing about the BrailleSetUnlimitedPixelsPerSpace script is that it's one-way. You push the key and it sets it to unlimited (actually 999) pixels per space, but the only way to turn that
