PDFs and JAWS

Hi,

I've noticed that when I listen to a PDF using JAWS, it generally reads one
line at a time instead of one sentence at a time (or until a certain number
of characters have been read). Is this expected Adobe Reader behavior, or is
there a way to create a PDF so that it reads more like a web page?

For example, if there is a PDF formatted like this:

Temperatures in the Northeast (pause)
will rise into the 80s and 90s, (pause)
and into the 90s and 100s in (pause)
the Southeast. Temperatures (pause)
in the Southern Plains and the (pause)
Southwest will rise into the 90s (pause)
and 100s, and into the 80s in (pause)
the Northwest. (pause)

JAWS will pause at the end of each line and wait for the user to hit the
down arrow before reading the next line. I have indicated this by putting
the word "pause" at the end of each line.

Is there a way for me to format the PDF so that it reads entire sentences
without pausing for line breaks?

Thanks,
David
