PDF READER PRO MAC FILLABLE PDF PDF
If you paid attention to what I was saying a moment ago about the status of elements being checked or unchecked you will notice that this process does work on some non text field elements which, to the best of my knowledge is not the case for pdf pin, which is the only other option for filling out pdf's on the mac. unfortunately I do not believe there is any way to receive typing feed back, which is a bummer, but you can move away from text fields with shift tab and then tab and Read Out Loud should read whatever you have typed. You will hear the tag for the element followed by the type of element, text field for example, and finally if there is any text in the field, or if the element has a status like checked or unchecked, the status will be read. If you are in a properly tagged pdf form you should be able to hit tab which will take the Read Out Loud focus to the next form element, just like in any other type of form. However, filling out forms is a different story. As far as simply reading text this app might be ok for putting on in the back ground, but for the most part you should look somewhere els like skim for reading. Of course by this point you are saying, why would I want this silly self voicing app to read pdf's? Its true that it is a silly self voicing app and Adobe should be ashamed that they think that is a bandaid for total lack of voice over compatibility. From my experience once it starts talking it should behave as it is suppose to. Try hitting the key strokes in the Read Out Loud submenu and anything els you can think of. Warning getting the thing to start speaking has been the most tricky part of this process for me. After the Read Out Loud feature is turned on you should be able to hit command shift b to start reading the document. Once in this menu turn on the Read Out Loud feature and keep in mind the few key strokes that are listed in this menu. So the first thing you want to do after opening the app is to go into the menu bar, with vo m, go to the view menu, and then go to the very last sub menu in this section. Now it is a little crude and funky, but I think it could be manageable.īefore I go into the finer points let me just say that I just figured out what I'm about to talk about if it is already common knowledge and I am simply slow I apologize. However, I have figured out a way to use the app to fill out forms, as long as they are tagged. Nothing has changed and the app is just as impossible with voice over as ever. Now don't think that Adobe has suddenly upped its game and made its pdf reader accessible to voice over after all of these years of ignoring us.
