There's also the issue of whether the pdf was made accessibly or not.
(it takes much longer to resove/OCR a poorly formatted pdf.) If people
are referring to pages while discussing the pdf, then you can use the Go
to Page Feature in Adobe Reader - ctrl-shift-n, and then type the page
number and press enter.

Good luck with that, Brad. I don't like the way Adobe handles largish
documents, it seems to choke and take forever. You can go into
preferences
and tell it to only convert portions of the document as you go.
If you have a few Benjamin's lying around, avail yourself of Open Book
or
Kurzweil. You can use the Freedom Import or Kurzweil Virtual Printer
respectively. Just open the .pdf document, issue the print command
and
select whichever one is applicable as your printer.
The disadvantage to reading docs in Adobe like that, is any table
conversion
doesn't work all that well. You have to be able to do a bit of mental
interpolation.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I am on our home owners association and every month the management
company
sends me this 165 page progress report and it is in a PDF format. I
can
read bits of the document but it runs real slow. I also seem to get
held up
on turning pages at times. I can navigate using the alt key but it
gets
very time consumeing. I was wondering if someone can send me a list
of key
commands that would make it easier for me to swim through this
document
rather then being weighed down by cement boots.
I am using jaws 13 with windows 7 and adobe 10. If anything, could
anyone
from this list e-mail me privately and give me instruction if I send
them
this 165 page report to use as an example? It might help me grasp it
more
easily.
