I've used it earlier and got the menu bar correctly. Try re-installing at

All such documents that I do have are locally saved to my disk but still the
menu bar doesn't figure out in them. One more thing is that the JAWS cursor
also doesn't seem to work there.

I believe the menu bar doesn't appear when you open the document in the
browser, there's one in Adobe Reader. You can save a local copy of the
document by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+S and view the local copy in Adobe Reader to
avail the menu bar.

Thanks Zujar, it's workable to some extent. Actually in such type of
documents no menu bar appears on the screen so I presumed we cannot change
the zoom but pressing the shortcut did the jod.

Thanks Zujar, it's workable to some extent. Actually in such type of
documents no menu bar appears on the screen so I presumed we cannot
change the zoom but pressing the shortcut did the jod.

Hi

A word of caution, protected PDF files  may have some sensitive information. 
Giving it to such unknown and untrusted sites, you would be exposing 
yourself to a much larger risk.


Bear in mind this aspect too.

Dear Vikas

Strictly speaking, this issue is out of scope from the Copyright bill. 
In

keeping with the spirit of your assertion, we certainly must demand
accessible PDF statement.  This is a perpetual battle we will have to
deal
with.
There cannot be a software solution because the content developer in his
wisdom set the security so.

Accessibility  is an unearthly word in the world of the able bodied. The
effort involved is so huge it feels like ants trying to pull a railway

Folks,
It is deeply regretted that on the one hand the copyright bills has 
given

us an opportunity to access an abundance of print material which hither
to
cannot be accessed by the print disabled people, while on the other hand
we're unable to access our own personal documents, be they the medical
reports, bank statements or any official bills because most of the
corporate sectors these days are producing the PDF documents in such a
way
which cannot be read out by any screen reader. For quite some time, the
Lal Pathology Laboratory, which is supposed to be the best accredited 
lab

all over India has been producing the personal medical reports which are
not accessible through any screen reader. As soon as you open them, you
screen reader will give you a message "the Author set this documents in 
a

way which prevents access," and the JAWS will say protection failure.,
needless to mention that the contents are very much visible on the 
screen
for a sighted people and not accessible by the screen readers. If 
anybody

has any solution to this, can share, except indeed suggesting to convert
the same with the help of any OCR programme, which is of course is the
last option. I think we, as an organization, or any registered
organisation can approach to them and launch the protest on behalf of 
the

entire VI community because this is also a violation to our right to
print
accessibility.

Dear Vikas,

I checked my Vodafone bill that is secured and password protected by
Vodafone when sent through email just after reading your input below. I
could read the bill period, amount due, bill period, my name and so on. The
voice accent is too bad and some discrepancies like "Voclafone", "8 Wind"
instead of "B Wing", etc.

Note that it produces different results when you scan Screen, Window and
Control - not fair and needs improvement. Also press CTRL+1 to set the
document to actual size and then try scanning. One more pain point is that
you need to scroll the pages manually, the OCR scans only what appears on
screen.

Best Regards,

Re: [AI] PDF Inaccessibility

2012-06-14 Thread Zujar Shabbir Kanchwala
How about using the OCR shipped with JAWS 13? I've used the demo on
this year's Form 16 with some degree of success, Mphasis distributes
Form 16 in a protected form and was totally inaccessible till last
year. Though everything it read out was not correct, I could interpret
it to a certain extent and was also able to validate the digital
signature on it without sighted assistance. I believe it can be
improved for more accuracy in the coming versions.

Someone on the list may share their experience with the OCR coming
with NVDA please.

OK ants are hardworking so lets get to work. We have to pull the wagon and 
we have to push it in the direction we want. Most of us have read the story 
of the ant and the grasshopper so lets get busy while the sun is shining. 
The copyright issue took us 10 years and now part 2 of the war has started. 
In the interim we can tackle this little thing.



1. Vikas please find the address of this lab-preferably the registered 
office address and the name of the big shot-CEO/Chairman/MD
2. Please someone type the issue-I am not good with technical words. Explain

Count me in as even I have to read heavy PDF files by power industry regulators.
And because I can’t navigate, find or edit anything comfortably, I
have to invest time in converting them in word doc by Abby Find
reader.

I think, we can approach the root cause by addressing it to adobe or
freedom scientific.

Vikas,
Totally agree. Count me in when there is need to run a sensitization kind of 
thing. I will be happy to do that on all our behalf.

you are right Vikas, we must do something.

It is deeply regretted that on the one hand the copyright bills has 
given us an opportunity to access an abundance of print material 
which hither to cannot be accessed by the print disabled people, 
while on the other hand we're unable to access our own personal 
documents, be they the medical reports, bank statements or any 
official bills because most of the corporate sectors these days are 
producing the PDF documents in such a way which cannot be read out 
by any screen reader. For quite some time, the Lal Pathology 
Laboratory, which is supposed to be the best accredited lab all over 
India has been producing the personal medical reports which are not 
accessible through any screen reader. As soon as you open them, you 
screen reader will give you a message "the Author set this documents

failure., needless to mention that the contents are very much 
visible on the screen for a sighted people and not accessible by the 
screen readers. If anybody has any solution to this, can share, 
except indeed suggesting to convert the same with the help of any 
OCR programme, which is of course is the last option. I think we, as 
an organization, or any registered organisation can approach to them 
and launch the protest on behalf of the entire VI community because 
this is also a violation to our right to print accessibility.
