HI Judy. Ah, no. qRead is for reading exclusively and you cannot edit pdf files using this programme.
If the files are text and not images that you need to OCR, your best bet is to use Adobe Acrobat or Reader, I think. PDF forms do, I think, need some kind of adjustment from the developer of these forms in order to be accessible. I'm not too clear on what that is. I do know that most of the forms at my old work and also government-type forms work ok. I haven't had a lot of experience with this, honestly. As for file associations and such.... In Windows 10, use the search box and type "default". Or, you can find it inside "system settings". Here you can choose what programme opens each type of file that your OS recognises. Or most of them, at least. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro on this computer, so I don't know if it's quite the same -- but I saw this in Reader as well. There is a checkbox in preferences -- in mine it is under "internet" in the tree view. The box is labeled "open PDF in browser" or something like that. I would uncheck this box, if it's checked. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Jones Sent: January 26, 2018 1:53 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Attachments that open in Edge. Can you fill out paperwork using that, since this is what I am needing to do? I can also try to print with Freedom Import Printer, and could have a fillable document, I just did that the other day. Also, remind me where I would go to find the file associations I need to check. Thanks loads.

Do you have Adobe reader? There is an option there to set which prevents pdf files from opening in a browser. Last I checked, even though Windows "prefers" if you set all associations within itself, this still plays nicely with Windows 10. Also go to your default file associations and check to see what you have said for .pdf files. I personally use a programme called qRead to open text pdf files most of the time, now. It's really fast and doesn't take an age to deal with long documents that I just want to read. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Jones Sent: January 26, 2018 1:35 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Attachments that open in Edge. Hello, I think I may have posted this awhile back, but I have received attachments that, by default, want to open in Edge; I want them to open in my default browser. Is there a way of preventing Edge from taking over? I have Internet Explorer set as my default browser, yet the pdf attachment wants to open in Edge. The only work-around I have found is to save the attachment and open it that way. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
