Subject: Voiceover, PDF documents on the web
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
