OMG! That sounds like a miracle!

I've been struggling for years with Acrobat 9 using a combination of all
discoverable keyboard shortcuts with magnification at X16 for things that
are mouse essential. This year, Acrobat 9 seems to have taken a long
vacation. Even when I've added tags and everything seems good in Adobe
Reader, the file opens up as inaccessible in Acrobat. The resultant juggling
act made me give up on PDF remediation. No upgrade? No chance. I cannot cope
with ribbons. Call me T Rex for short :)

Thanks very much for this Josh. I doubt it would work with an ancient
Acrobat though. But it gives me hope for the future. A nice feeling on the
edge of retirement. Yup, both me and the Acrobat!

Cheers,

Bim
