Well, I decided to attempt to open a Take Control PDF Book. Using "Command i" I
first selected the file then pressed command+I changed my default choice from
Docuscan Plus to iBooks and applied the changes to all PDF files. Yes, iBooks
opens and Preview opens in the background. The actual file
It only skips characters when I'm reading word by word (i.e. not holding down
shift) and when I switch from moving to the right to moving to the left. It
skipped a space or two when I was reading character by character, but this
seemed inconsistent.

Yes, shift and arrows still just bings at me, but VO-SHIFT ARROWS does the

How are you attempting to read character by character? In most applications
with voiceover, unless you are in an application where you can edit, you have
to interact with the text you want to read and use vo-shift and the arrows. In
editable areas in applications that allow editing you can actua

Shift with any arrow key just got that blank dong sound meaning there's nowhere

To read by character, use shift with the left/right arrows.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your comments here. I've been getting mixed up with QuickLook and
Preview and associating one with the other.
In QuickLook I basically had to read each whole page in one go. With Preview
I'm able to interact with the text and, with QuickNav turned on and set to the

If you are trying to access a pdf in safari and aren't getting results that are

Hi,
Similar to what Cheryl is saying here, if it is saying HTML Content, I'm
guessing that it is attempting to open the PDF from within Safari. Usually,
Preview handles this fine as well. Not as much control but if the PDF is
properly setup, then it is read properly from within Safari. Excep
Empty html content? Is this a pdf file on your computer or something in safari
you are trying to read? Maybe this is a different kind of file and I'm showing
my ignorance, but when I open a pdf file I see the text and/or the text area is
blank. I don't usually see html content but I suppose ther
I've done all this, and it just sits there and says "empty html content," and
in the end, I just get frustrated and close the page, considering the fact that
it never goes anywhere, just sits there and says the same thing, so have no
idea as to what to do at this point.

I agree with your Hmmm. I played with things some more by opening a PDF
document with QuickLook and did find it less than useful. I'm not sure why
you're getting a menu when using your arrow keys. For me, if I simply use
arrow keys without the VO keys, then it changes pages within the PDF doc
Hmm... I'm using Mountain Lion, and all that happens when I arrow in the text
is the share menu opens. I can vo-arrow, but that's no better than Quicklook. I
did hit cmd-2 to enter single page mode as you suggested, and I did interact
with the text.

Hi,
I navigate to the pdf wherever it is located on my computer, then open it. My
default app for PDFs is Preview so it opens Preview. I then press cmd-2 if
I've not already done so in an earlier read of the PDF which puts it into
Single-page mode. I can then navigate with VO-right arrow to
How do you read line by line? I can enable quick nav and rotor to lines, but
that is not perfect and can be laggy. Up and down arrows just move to the
previous or next item and open it in quicklook, which I understand preview to
be. Am I missing an app others are using?

Hi,
Preview usually works just great for me, line by line or whatever method I
choose. I do, however, find it much easier to use in Single-page mode which
you can enter by pressing cmd-2 in ML. I use it for multi-page curriculum
guides, various manuals and much, much more.

I'd love to if the file would open and not just say "plugging in process" then

Hi there. No no, I wouldn't.
However, what I usualy do is to open the file with preview, sellect all text,
copy it to a textedit document and read it there. It only takes 3 key strokes.

Would you really say Preview works? Please interact with the text area and try
to navigate or read line by line. Preview for me is just a work around at the
moment and we should let Apple know this.

Poreview is a built in app that reads PDF files on the Mac. You may be dealing
with a PDF which is a picture of writing: and, if this is the case, you will
need to run OCR on it.

Hi there.
I am sure you already know this, but why don't you just use preview to read pdf
files?
It is much easier and it works.

Hi there.
I hate to be the giver of bad news here, but 1from you need to fill out a form
by yf you will need Windows. The programs for editing PDF files are
inaccessible when it comes to doing the editing.

I need to fill out my form for a job interview but i can't seem to access it.
