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. So what I do is, when the PDF is open on site, I press Alt F, then arrow down to other and enter there, it pops up save as...and the *accessible .txt is highlighted. I give it a name, but it's not necessary to do this, then press Alt S to save, it goes right to my documents on my windows 7 system. - Original Message - From: Vicki To: JAWS Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2015 8:38 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] trouble with downloading PDF documents on webpages I am having trouble downloading PDF documents using a link on certain webpages.

Re: [JAWS-Users] trouble with downloading PDF documents on webpages
Hi When you open a PDF document in your browser, such as internet explorer, the PDF document will be opened in the browser by default. In the browser, there is no option to save the PDF document in a different format. But when you opened the saved PDF document, you were using Adobe Reader which has an option of saving the document in a different format, such as text. But Adobe Reader has an option to be the program used even if you open the document from your browser. With this option, when you open a PDF document from your browser, the choices to save in a different format such as text are available. To set Adobe Reader to always be the program to open a PDF document, open Adobe Reader. Then type alt+e to open the edit menu and up arrow 2 times to get to the accessibility sub-menu. Press right arrow to open this sub-menu and then press down arrow one time to get to Setup Assistant and press enter. This will open a 5 page dialog which allows you to choose accessibility options for screen readers, magnification programs or both. Tab to the next button and press enter. Do not press enter on the Use recommended settings and skip setup button. The last four pages of this dialog allow you to set various accessibility options. You navigate through those pages by pressing tab until you get to the next button and press enter. The option we are looking for to always open a PDF document in Adobe Reader is on the last page, titled Display PDF documents in the web browser. Make sure that this option is not checked. Then tab to finish and press enter. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Trish Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2015 11:57 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] trouble with downloading PDF documents on webpages Hi, I have 2 computers one is running IE 11, so I just now went to my bank and the E statements. so here's what I did..

Re: [JAWS-Users] trouble with downloading PDF documents on webpages
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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] trouble with downloading PDF documents on webpages
I have this option unchecked, and PDF documents are still opening in IE 11 rather than in Adobe Reader. So whenever I encounter a PDF document in my Google search results, I open it in a new window by pressing Shift-Enter. I have found that if you try to open a PDF document inside IE 11 in the same window as the search results, IE 11 may freeze. In my case, I cannot get PDF documents to open in Adobe Reader even though I have unchecked that check box on the last page of the Accessibility Set-Up dialog. But what is even stranger is that the Adobe PDF Reader add-on is not showing on my list of add-ons in IE 11, yet Adobe Reader is apparently reading them, anyway. One other setting you need to change on Adobe Reader to insure that PDF documents will be read, is to access the Edit menu, scroll down to Preferences, then scroll down the list of options until you land on Security (Enhanced) (the item immediately after Security by itself), tab once to the checkbox labeled enable protected mode at start up. which is checked by default, and uncheck it. Otherwise, PDF documents may not be processed and read at all, and when you click on a link labeled as a PDF, IE 11 may simply open on a blank page.
