Re: pdf viewing and printingDate:

When I want to print a particular page, I usually change the document read settings to read every page as a separate page instead of reading the whole
document. However, if you do that, the Window-Eyes "FIND" will only work on the current page. The Adobe SEARCH would work, but I've always had
trouble using that but it could be just me. Your frustrations are shared, there are some rough edges to all of this. .
If this work is part of an employment situation and you are going to need to do a lot of work with similar documents, looking at a PDF conversion tool might
be something to consider. I also know that some have found that buying the full version of Acrobat provides enough more control over documents to make
it worth while. You mentioned in earlier notes something about a report writer being involved, and looking at other options there might be worth it as well,
although I didn't completely understand the process you were having to use. Do you have any reading programs on your machine such as Kurzweil 1000,
OmniPage, Open Book, or FineReader? If so, I believe all of them will process a PDF file and may make it easier to do some of the things you need to do.
If you will need to print from the documents being converted, though, you will need to retain formatting.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Good afternoon,
I have been having a discussion on the list about reading pdfs.
Now I have come across another problem.
I have a multiple page document.
I Use the find command of windoweyes to find the information I am looking for and then I can read sort of this rather nasty document.
How do I know if I am really on that page of the document or still at the top.
I tried to just print the page I was reading with the print current page and I got the first page of the document. not the one I was reading.
What am I supposed to do to land on the page I want to print?
Thanks
