Hi fellow list members.

I hope some AT users could test 2 short PDFs. We're trying to test methods
of creating hyperlinks for AT device users.

We estimate that the test shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for both PDFs.

Please visit the test webpage at http://www.pubcom.com/PDF-test_1.html

Thanks for your help,

Hi Bevi,

I tried both the test pdf files with JAWS 12 and NVDA 2011.1 with
Adobe Reader 9 on a Windows 7 32 bit computer & below are the results:

Test PDF 1:
Both JAWS & NVDA failed to identify any of the links. Instead read out
the links as plain text. However these links were clickable with a
mouse.

Test 2 PDF:
Both JAWS & NVDA identified two web page links and 1 email link
correctly. Also the links could be clicked with a mouse as well as a
keyboard.

Hope this helps...

Thanks & Regards,

You will always need the <Link> and the Link OBJR tags as in version two.
The fact that they aren't there in version one is why it doesn't work.
