class=yshortcuts>Adobe</SPAN> as a Quality Engineer for almost 5 years dealing
with <SPAN class=yshortcuts>Accessibility</SPAN> of PDF documents and the use of
<SPAN class=yshortcuts>Adobe Acrobat</SPAN> and Reader. In this tech talk, he’ll
explain exactly what PDF means, then will take you through the process of
downloading and installing <SPAN class=yshortcuts>Adobe Reader</SPAN>, the <SPAN
class=yshortcuts>free software Adobe</SPAN> provides for reading PDF
documents. When you start Adobe Reader for the first time after
installation, Adobe Reader will discover if you have a <SPAN
class=yshortcuts>screen reader</SPAN> like JAWS or <SPAN
class=yshortcuts>Window-Eyes</SPAN> running, and it will start a special wizard
that will help you customize the program to make it easier to use with your
<SPAN class=yshortcuts>screen reader</SPAN>. Pete will walk you through the
entire wizard and explain the effects each of the settings will have. Then,
he’ll talk about some of the reasons that some PDF documents are initially not
able to be read by a screen reader, and talk about some of the tools Adobe
provides in its Acrobat program to make PDF documents more accessible. Following
the presentations, he’ll open it up for any questions</SPAN> <SPAN
