Hi Everyone:

 

New to the group:

Does anyone know how to edit a pdf file with JAWS? I am using the latest version of JAWS for my laptop and Adobe pro.  

I tried the control + 6, the described command to add a sticky note, but it only worked once.

 

Thank you.

 

Best Regards,

Hi Lauren,

I don't have Adobe Pro but I have used MS Word to edit a pdf file. Just open the file in Word and there will be a notice that will tell you that Word is preparing the document to be opened and edited in Word that may take a few minutes.

Once you finished editing the document, resave it as a pdf file.

Hope this helps.

My experience is that opening the PDF in Word is usually not a guaranteed way to maintain the structure and formatting of the original document. Alas, you might need Acrobat Reader Pro, which is not available for free.

I do not see any advantages to Adobe Pro and after much consultations with Freedom Scientific (which does not support adobe Pro according to the tech support people) and lack of response from Adobe, I would not invest in it.

It was certainly very usable with a  screen-reader back around the time of version 11 or so, and given that  Adobe is at least somewhat dedicated, it should be even moreso now. Of course, total success with all documents not guaranteed.

And last I checked, Acrobat Pro was not accessible.

Well, can you oCR documents using free Adobe Reader? I don’t believe so, unless that’ a fairly recently development. I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to investigate as an individual/home user either, because the programme is expensive, but a lot of people have Adobe Pro for work, and if they don’t, are fighting for it with their companies/managers. While I can’t say which features don’t work and there may be some, I’ve certainly used it successfully in the past, though the version I have crashes now when I try to run it, so I’ve more or less abandoned it.

Hello:

OCR can be performed against PDF files using JAWS and the free Adobe Reader program. I use this feature all the time.

Hey.

I don’t mean through JAWS though. I mean Adobe’s own oCR engine, which seemed much more accurate and robust, and can save to almost any format.
