It might be that the document is in protected view. I've not found any way to fix that accept to press F6 until you hear protected view and then you need to find the button that will let you enable it for that document. This seems to happen with any PDF file you try to open rather than saving to your hard drive first. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Skarstad via Talk [mailto:talk@lists.window-eyes.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 8:58 AM To: Michael Massey; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: This is actually pretty important, was Re: pdf documents, WE 9?
Hi why would this be considered off-topic, and why would we want to hide this from the AI Squared guys? These are important questions that I seriously think they need to see and pay attention to, because it is a legitimate concern. Anymore, pdf is a popular document on the web, and I think Window-eyes 9 should support it to the best of its abilities, as much as Adobe and other creators of PDF documents will allow it to. From what I can tell, it depends largely on the way the document is created. There accessibility tools that document creators can add to their documents and some people just don't even realize they exist. So I do believe this is actually a pretty important ddiscussion, lets not hide this. On 3/4/2015 10:37 AM, Michael Massey via Talk wrote: > Hi, Jo. I think I can answer one of your questions.
