I'm certainly willing to squeak. <smile>  However, I think it's
important to squeak in an informed fashion.  So I just installed Acrobat
Reader 7.0.8.  The install itself was somewhat problematic --
independent of accessibility.  That said, once I got the kinks worked
out and enabled accessibility, I was able to read their help file (a
PDF) using Orca.  

I did find another PDF on the Adobe site which I can reliably use to
crash the reader when using Orca.  This, of course, is not a good thing,
but I haven't tested long enough to determine if that is the norm or the
exception.  

I suppose this is all a long way of saying: Do we know exactly what was
broken so that we can ask specifically for it to be fixed? Or was it
expected that I wouldn't be able to access PDFs at all using Orca?

Thanks in advance!
