People With Visual Disabilities
PDF Reader
If you have a visual disability, Adobe offers a reader program that helps you
view PDF files. Go to their site at
http://access.adobe.com/
for more information.
PDF Conversion to HTML
If your reader is having problems reading a PDF file, you may want to try the PDF
conversion from the Adobe web site at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_simple_form.html.
Note: Before you go to their web site, copy the URL of the PDF you are trying to
view. After you get to the adobe site, paste the URL into field and Adobe will
convert it for you for free.
Additional Details
For those users that do NOT like the way 3.02 integrated itself as a
helper app with IE4 and 5, there is a setting in Acrobat Reader 4 to
control that. After installing Reader 4, launch it and go to
File -> Preferences -> General. In the Options block there is a check box
labeled "Web Browser Integration". If that is not checked, then when a
.pdf doc is selected, a dialog box will display asking whether you wish to
open the file or save it. If the box is checked, then the .pdf doc will
open within an IE window (or Netscape if that is what is being used).
One note on the installation. It appears Adobe has made their 4.05 program
self-installing, which is a good thing, but it also appears that it does not
un-install previous versions. (Good News / Bad News). You "should" un-install
previous versions of Acrobat before installing the version 4.05, though not required.
