Re: [orca-list] acroread

Hi,

I can read documents in acroread. However, I'm using the latest svn trunk 
versions of Orca, at-spi, etc.

Just so you know, there are lots of problems with Acroread, but I haven't 
yet had the time to check bug lists to see if they have already been 
documented.

I also noticed that after closing acroread, orca stops speaking altogether. 
I have to quit orca an restart it to get speach back.

Is this people's general experience with acroread?  Would downloading 
acroread from adobe work better?  Or is my orca just too far behind?

Thank you:-)
