Hi Lenny, I just checked my AdobeXI & after opening preferences, navigating to Security Enhanced, tab 1 time, & the first option is, Enable Protected Mode at startup. This should be unchecked. Then tab to the, Okay button, press enter to save the change & close preferences. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

There are no settings to uncheck. It goes from security to signatures. here is a little more about the file. Thanks for ordering this Mini-Mystery e-Book. It is attached to this e-mail as a pdf file. I tried to read it with openbook and it tells me that the file is empty. I was able to print it but not read it go figure! I may have to scan each page to get around the problem. It would be nice if I could change the security options I am using the xi version of adobe. -----Original Message----- From: Mike B.

If not try the following if your running Adobe XI: 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. Open Adobe 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, 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 & close.

I don't have a protected PDF file to play around with so, I can't experiment. 1 other thought, since the text is on the screen, try virtualizing the window, selecting all the text, & pasting it into Notepad to see if you can read it that way. Remember to escape out of the virtual view or, you won't be able to open Notepad. Take care.

It came in pdf format. When I try to open it I get a protection error that states that the author set security that can not be accessed. Interesting, my wife can read it on the screen. Jaws can not get past the protection error even the jaws cursor can not read what my wife sees. How can I get around this. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
