Adobe Acrobat's portable document format (PDF) files
are widely used on the Web because they preserve the original
appearance of the printed document. To access these files, you must
have the Acrobat Reader on your computer, configured
to work with your browser. When viewed or printed in the Acrobat
Reader, the document appears as it does in the hard copy
version.
Many PDF documents contain bookmarks to the major
sections. If the bookmarks are not visible when you
open the file, select the bookmark button in the
Button Bar of the Acrobat Reader. Just click a bookmark to jump to the
corresponding topic or section in the document. To view sub-topic
bookmarks, click the triangle icon at the left of a
bookmark.
Access.Adobe.Com is a tool that allows blind
and visually impaired users to read any document in Adobe PDF format.
The tool converts PDF documents into simple HTML or ASCII text that can
then be read by a number of common screen reading programs that
synthesize the HTML as audible speech. Go to
Access.Adobe.Com
in the
Button Bar of the Acrobat Reader. Just click a bookmark to jump to the
corresponding topic or section in the document. To view sub-topic
bookmarks, click the triangle icon at the left of a
bookmark.
