Hi, What choices do you get when you right click or use the application key on the link? I find that getting focus on the link can be a little troublesome so in order to get the focus on the link I want I use JawsKey F7 to bring up the links list, find the link I want and tab to "move to link" and press enter. Then the application or right click will offer me the save option.

The problem is that it will not open up on the website. It simply crashes IE11. I have the latest Adobe Reader, as well as IE. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trish" <patricia.zoell...@tx.rr.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2015 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] trouble with downloading PDF documents on webpages > Hi, > > I open a PDF like my monthly bank statement from my banks site, then I > save it as a .txt file. > > I'm using Adobe 11 and Jaws 16.
