The newer versions of pdf reader open all documents in protected mode. There's supposed to be an enable-all-features button in adobe you can hit with your mouse to unprotect these documents at least on windows. This protected mode also disables screen readers and if the screen reader user can't hit the enable -all--features button somehow in console or gui mode, they may as well trash the pdf document and uninstall the readers for them too since they're not going to read those documents. If a document is password protected the enable-all-features button may show up, but very probably won't work if it's hit.
