hi
this might help you,
arrow to the link, then press vo+command+f5 to move voiceover curser
to the link.
Hold the control key down and press the mouse button.
This will present you with a menu, arrow to "save linked file" and
press return.
this will then download the pdf file to your download default folder.

Dear Listers,
I've just subscribed to a professional journal on the Web. The
website gives me access to regular issues of a bulletin in PDF
format. I can find the link which is the title of the current issue.
I click on it with VO+spacebar and then I hit a problem. I get a
message from Safari that it cannot find an apropriate PDF reader to
open the page. I am presented with a dialogue from which to choose a
compatible reader but I cannot find it in the list applications. In
my case, I use Preview but I cannot see it in the dialogue that
Safari offers me. And yet, Preview is definitely there in my list of
Applications folder. Ideally, I don't really want to open the file
on the web, I ideally want to download it into a folder on my
computer. However, clicking on the title of the bulletin does not
give me an option to download the PDF file. On the windows side, I
can right click on the title in IE6 and choose save target as... But
in Safari, I don't know how to do it. Can anyone give me some clues
as to how to achieve my purpose? Why doesn't safari recognise
Preview as a legitimate PDF reader?
Many thanks in advance.
Simon
