Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF
Sounds like you are opening the download directly with Adobe Reader? This would be done by using the open option. Try saving the file before you open it, if you tab you should tab past the open button to save and then see if this makes a difference. When downloading anything from the internet you should always choose save thus the file would be checked on completion and at least then you have thw whole file still on your pc whereas if you open it the file is in a state that you have no control over.

I believe it is the number of pages that is causing the problem? Jaws tells me it is processing page five of one hundred forty-nine, than announces it has reached six percent, ... then I'm looking at the original link on the webpage I was trying to download from. It is one of some eight EBooks I have downloaded and read today, none of the others gave me any trouble, but none of the others was more than seventy pages. Is there a setting I can change or some other way to make it give me access to the entire document? Thanks for any and all assistance. Yours sincerely, Joy Please say thank you to Canada's soldiers!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF
Dear Larry, I'd prefer saving it, and I do generally save files from the net before opening for all the excellent reasons you mentioned. However, if that is an option offered in this case I can't find it. Clicking on the link immediately opens the Adobe window asking about infer reading order from document etc. If there is a way to by pass this and save the book I'd like to know it please. Although simply saving it won't solve the problem, Adobe still won't read it since it is too big. Sincerely, Joy Please say thank you to Canada's soldiers!

Sometimes, with jaws, you need to route jaws to PC, and then use it's right-click button/keystroke to invoke the necessary context menu for downloading something, or else, generally, after you have activated the link into a new window - shift + enter - and then closed that one again, the applicatons/right click key on the keyboard will then activate the right context menu.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF
Hi Joy, I've downloaded as many as 600 pages this way with no issues. However, if your books have lots of graphics, it could take awhile for it to process. Sometimes it stops telling me the percentage processed, but if I alt tab away and then come back it will tell me that the document is being processed.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF
Thank you Betsy, but I'm afraid in my case Adobe simply does not process the document. As I explained in my original message after announcing that it has processed page five of one hundred and seventy (in this particular instance) it flicks back to the link on the original web page. Alt tab shows no window relating to Adobe or downloads, ... I've seen it happen before but then they were texts I wanted out of interest, this is work related and much more important. Besides, I'd like to understand the problem, and prevent any further repetitions. Sincerely, Joy Please say thank you to Canada's soldiers!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF
Thank you very much, I look forward to checking out the link you sent. I did save some documents as text using Adobe's own save feature, ... unfortunately that put the files into Word Pad which had some regrettable formatting results. Still they are accessible and I'm glad to be able to copy the portions I need and Duxbury works well with them so its worth the extra time to put the lines back together. But I'm definitely interested in alternatives, thanks for sharing. Sincerely, Joy Please say thank you to Canada's soldiers! Express your appreciation directly to the men and women serving overseas.

congrats and enjoy reading Keep Smiling, Janie Degenshein Access Tech Consultant Facilitator of ECHO Co-host of OTBS On The Bright Side www.thruoureyes.org/brightside.html jdege...@comcast.net -Original Message- From: Ann Marie Medlar Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2011 11:59 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF Thanks, I did install this PDF conversion to text software and it works well. At first my PDF could not be converted but then I launched it again from desktop and tabbed around and checked image and OCR software launched and dropped my text file into the test folder. I also use OpenBook but for free this software is amazing.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF
Don't think you really need to uninstall, aside from maybe making sure any shortcut points to the new path, so think you could most likely just move the whole folder, etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: "Ann Marie Medlar" To: Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2011 5:11 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Downloading an Ebook in PDF Hi I just downloaded, scanned and installed.
