Hi Marlo, Follow these steps to set Adobe Reader for screenreader accessibility:
Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the consequences of unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say. 1. Start Adobe Reader from your desktop or start menu shortcut. 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 these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck but, optional: Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked. Enable Enhanced Security, does not need to be unchecked. 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 with, Alt + E, 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 "Display PDF documents in the web browser" and make sure it is unchecked. It may be checked by default. Then tab to the Okay button & press enter to save your changes & close. I'm not sure how much time it takes Openbook to start after pressing enter on the Freedom Import Printer option. I think the time might differ from system to system. It might take only 15 to 30 seconds but, others say it can take 2 or 3 minutes. HTH Take care.

I do have an accessibility option within Adobe but did not see where I can set it to do this automatically. Does this mean I have the free version? I thought my councilor bought it for me. The other question in this process is to Mike as my first question referred to Annette and the person who made a suggestion after her. This question is, how long do I wait for openbook to open/ I tried the steps twice mike and I haven'[t seen anything happen yet. I will use the web sites you give today but if you can tell me what part of the process am I missing/ Thank you.
