Hey guys, I have recently installed the new Adobe Reader and am having some problems. When I open a document which the text conversion team in my disabilities office has scanned and OCR-ed, it says "single page view" and I can't go past the first page. I've gone all through the menus to find a fix for this, but none has been found yet, except to tell it to autoscroll and toggle Browse Mode off and on with Window-Eyes to see what pages have loaded. But when I download articles from, say, JSTOR, this doesn't happen. Is the issue with the former scenario the fault of Adobe Reader or is it the way the text conversion team prepared my documents? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Guessing a little here but possibley it's the conversion. I've had students call about conversions that either are not working correctly or some of the book is missing when compaired to the printed text. I usually tell them to see if they can be provided with a different format other than PDF.
I'm guessing you must be right. Normally the TC team gives me Word format, but it's hard to convert Shakespeare in a timely manner when you're swamped lol. It works fine on my Braille Sense, but I hadn't had access to that at the time and was trying to read the docs on the computer, which was soooo not working. Thanks for the insight.
I hate Adobe reader. I have a program called QRead. You can try a demo. It is a one time fee of thirty dollars, but it is great! You can mark PDFS, read EBooks, Bookshare books, and more.
Whoa. You mean, the same people who created Pandora Hope? I miiiiiiight just do that. Does it read documents that haven't been put through the OCR process yet?
Also, if you have k1000 or openbook you can try opening the file with them. PDF is always fun, Um not.
I never thought of that! Will try that.
Yes, the same people who make Pandora Hope. No, it will not read documents that have not been put through the PDF conversion process.
