Since 2013 version, Word is able to open pdf files. It requires a conversion, but it Works very well.

Try the PDF reader that is built into Google Chrome, or use ABBYY FineReader to convert the PDF files to another format (HTML or Microsoft Word).

 

Due to the above two solutions, I haven’t used Adobe Reader for quite a while.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Reading PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

 

I tried a few more untagged PDF files and yep the same issue that I explained in my first post still occurs.
However this seems to only occur with untagged PDFs, I.E the ones that once opened presents a dialog to choose the reading order and such.
Since I have to deal with these PDFs on a regular bases for my university, is there a way to properly read these PDFs with NVDA?

 

 

 I know Microsoft Word can open PDF files, but it only works with smaller PDF files; I tried with a PDF version of an ebook hundreds of pages long and Microsoft Word seems to hang or it doesn't seem to open (no, the ebook isn't a protected PDF file).
But since Reader DC 2018 is working fine I'll just stick to it; I still need to find a way to prevent it from auto-updating.
Edit: I tried changing the subject line in hopes of forcing this reply to appear in  my earlier thread but this doesn't seem to work...hmmm
