How do I read PDF’s with JAWS? I downloaded Adobe Acrobat reader DC. When I open the PDF it brings up all these options such as contents, go to page, settings etc. I don’t know how to use Adobe. Please help. Denise |

While there is nothing wrong with using, Adobe Acrobat reader DC to read a PDF, you can also use Chrome or Edge to read a PDF, with little to no trouble. hth, TJ On 2/2/2023 6:47 PM, Denise J Moses

Hello:
Reading a text-based PDF in Chrome, Edge, Brave or whatever can work. But what happens when the PDF document contains scanned pictures of text? Then, a certain amount of optical character recognition would need to be performed. Fortunately, JAWS now has this capability built in.
Best regards,
Curtis Chong

What operating system are you running? Also,
you need to set Adobe as the default PDF reader. Below are some other tips
for setting up Adobe.
For those new to Adobe Reader DC, try the settings
changes below to see if they help with its performance.
Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the consequences of unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say. 1. Open Adobe Reader DC from your desktop or start
menu icons, go into preferences with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree
view.
If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below "Security." Then uncheck these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck but, optional: Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked. Enable Enhanced Security, does not need to be unchecked. Note. When making changes in the Security Enhanced section, you will be told that Adobe needs to be restarted, but you can wait to finish the other changes first. 2. Launch the Edit menu, Alt + E, scroll down to
the Accessibility submenu and open
it. Scroll down to the Set-up Assistant and press enter. The Set-Up Assistant has four screens. Go through all the screens making the necessary changes for your needs, pressing spacebar on "Next" in each instance until you get to the, Done, button. Press enter on, Done, and alt + F4 to close Adobe. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Note from a creditor: Dear Sir, Your account has been on our books for over a year.
