Re: [orca-list] adobe reader on Ubuntu 64 bit

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi
Adobe Reader is, to put it mildly, troublesome with Orca even without 
taking 64-bit into account. Even on Windows with the screen readers 
there, it never seems to work quite right (parts of pdf's missing, MSAA 
crashes, things like that). Quite honestly, what I do is open the pdf in 
evince (GNOME's default pdf viewer) then select all with ctrl-a, copy 
with ctrl-c, then paste into whatever text editor I choose. It's a bit 
crude, but it works well enough for me though at the cost of some 
structural navigation ability. Hopefully we actually get native 
accessibility to evince at some point in the not too distant future.
