Hi all,
For some reason, recently I cannot read PDF documents. I am using JAWS 2019 and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Any instructions how I could make it accessible?
Cheers, Gezim

Under file is the option to save as TXT, perhaps
that will work for you.

Resending this again, because I didn't see it come through on the list.
Hi, Gezim. After opening Adobe Acrobat Reader,
1. Press CONTROL plus K to open Preferences. 2. Arrow down to Enhanced Security. 3. Make sure Protected Mode and Enhanced Security are unchecked.
This should make pdf's readable in JAWS again.

Hi Gezim,
I had the exact same problem with jaws 2018. It happened after an update to the pdf reader. I fixed it as bill stated below. One more thing: You might want to disable the adobe update service. This can be done by using the windows key+r A run dialogue will appear. Type “services.msc” Scroll down through the services until you see the adobe update service. It will show as “running automatic”. Disable it. Now, you will have to check manually for updates. If you don’t want them, then you don’t have to worry about your software changing without your knowledge. However, if you do choose to update adobe again, the service will be set back to “run automatic” You will need to disable it again as mentioned above.
Regards,
pat

Look in edit/preferences/security enhanced. Make sure protected mode at startup is unchecked, and might as well uncheck enhanced security just in case.

It’s possible also that Adobe did an update and you have a license acceptance screen that you need to acknowledge. I had the exact same issue and a friend got on QuickAssist and checked the I Accept box for me.
