Re: Acrobat instability when using screenreaders

I reviewed this document with JAWS 11 and Adobe Acrobat 9.3. When in the
"infer reading order from document" the document took several minutes to be
completely recognized and words were run together with some distortion of
pronunciation. The time to process the document was long enough where in the
interim I sent the document to be scanned and read by Kurzweil v12.02 and
found that the document was recognized and read properly. I subsequently
used the other reading choices in version 9.3 to read the document and there
was no difficulty in using the "left to right, top to bottom" or "Raw print
screen choices." This document was read with the most clarity using JAWS in
the "Raw print screen choice."
