Hi guys, in the release notes for OS 10.8.4, it states that there is improved compatibility with PDF documents with voice over. I'm quite impressed by this, but I'm wondering if anybody has actually had experience with it, and if this is actually as it states. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone <--

Hi Matthew, Great that Safe Boot mode (holding down the shift key when you power on) fixed the problems. It does clean up some things automatically, so even though you can't get VoiceOver in Safe Boot mode, simply having your Mac boot into Safe Mode, then restarting it normally, will often work

Hi Sarah and all, Just curious here, but will the Recovery partition be able to do that? I thought that because the partition resides on the same disk as the OS, Disk utility is unable to scan everything. You might have better luck doing what Sarah suggests from a bootable backup. On 4 Jun 2013
