For some reason my previous replies didn't get to the list.
I have downloaded and installet Adobe Digital Editions version 4.0.3.0. Is this
the latest version? I haven't found any updates yet.
I have heard that some people can use ADE with JAWS succesfully and some don't.
In my case it could be a display adapter incompatibility problem. Perhaps it
has something to do with the video intercept, I don't know. I reinstalled the
video intercept but it didn't solve the problem.
OCR'ing the window in JAWS is the only way to read something from the book
content.

Adobe DC latest build works very well with Jaws sixteen. You may wish to go to
the Adobe website and make sure you are running the latest version. If you
already have Adobe digital Reader installed you may want to make sure it is up
to date since they recently updated it only a couple of days ago and made some
major improvements to accessibility.
I recently bought a piece of technology and went to the website where it was
made and downloaded the User Manual today and read it without any issues at all.
One thing I generally do that I understand can be helpful is when I do the
initial accessibility setup, Is I uncheck the box for Open document in web
browser. While this is a personal preference I find that it often works better
for me if I open it in the Adobe program than in Internet Explorer 11 which is
the browser of choice for me.
Hope that helps.

Hi, sorry, I beg to defer your opinion. Ade is a Jaws-Friendly software.
I usually use it to read my books.However, I don’t know what the cause of this particular problem is

As far as I know, JAWS has never worked with Adobe Digital Editions

content? It was believed to be not screen-reader friendly.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Adobe Digital Editions: JAWS doesn't see the
screencontent
Hello!
I installed Adobe Digital Editions version 4.0.3.0. It seems that JAWS
doesn't see the content of the screen.
I can open the sample ebook, "Getting started with Adobe Digital
Editions 4.0", but there is nothing on the screen that JAWS can see.
The only chance to read something wit the JAWS cursor is to use OCR
(Insert+Space o w). I can tab through various buttons and my speech
synthesizer speaks the button texts. They are also visible on my
Braille display. But JAWS 15 (or 16 as well) doesn't see the book
content. Insert+F says "No font" everywhere, even in the Item info box
(Ctrl+I).
A sighted person said that everything on the screen seems to bee OK.
NVDA seems to work quite well with ADE, so the problem has something
to do with JAWS, perhaps with its video intercept.
I have reinstalled video intercept. I also tried Adobe Digital
Editions version 3. But the problem is the same. I have changed
Windows themes and screen resolution — JAWS behaves always in the same
way.
I have Windows 7 32 bit, JAWS 15.0.12085 and a demo version of JAWS 16
with latest updates.
My display adapter is Intel G41 Express Chipset (WDDM).
Any ideas? What could I try next?
