Hi, I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I had to do some digging but found the settings you speak of. When I go to the pdf file in classroom and enter on it it still opens the viewer. It will not open the file in Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

I'm assuming your student is using JAWS and that you're working with JAWS to find the solution. PDF files need to be set up specifically for accessibility. Here's a short list of instructions compiled from posts by Mike B and Gerald Levy, members of this list. Note that you must be in the Adobe or Acrobat application to make these adjustments: 1. 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 Enable Protected Mode at startup, 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, scroll down to the Accessibility submenu and open it. Scroll down to the Set up Assistant and press enter. The Set Up Assistant has five screens, but the only change you have to make is on the Last, screen 5 of 5. Go through all the screens, pressing spacebar on Next in each instance, until you reach the fifth and final screen. Here, tab to the check box labeled "Open PDF documents in the browser" and make sure that it is unchecked. It may be checked by default. Then tab to the Okay button. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Chad Brown Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 12:54 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] google classroom and PDF files Hi, Trying to assist a student with the subject of this message. I see the link for the PDF file the teacher has shared with him. I enter to open and it looks like it is open but I cant get JAWS to read anything. Thoughts?
