Does anyone know how to move from the Bookmarks pane to the visual PDF
window in Acrobat Reader (or professional or standard) without a mouse with
or without JAWS running? I imagine there are specific keystrokes -- maybe
even JAWS has some, but I cannot find it in my searching.

Thanks,

Dona

The F6 key will get you there - it rotates around the open panels so you may need to hit it more than once.

Thanks Mike! I noticed that Shift+F6 goes backwards too.

This method works with almost any Windows application that I have used.
