Re: for the third time, filling out a PDF

It works with other browsers. At present, Internet Explorer needs
to be running for System Access to run, but if it is running, you
can have both Internet Explorer opened to keep System Access to Go
running and open the browser you want to use with it.

I checked two or three months ago but I didn't find any information about whether they will continue System Access to Go after Internet Explorer is retired and what browser it will have to see is opened for it to run. I didn't say System Access To Go would work with your specific file. It should work with a file if System Access works with it. Gene

You are absolutely right, System Access should work with Adobe reader to fill out this form, but as I said, I don't know how much longer I'll have access to System Access, as from what I've heard, they haven't made any updates to make that screen reader work with Edge or any browser other than IE, which is being discontinued pretty soon.

We don't know if the current document will be properly accessible using System Access but you may want to try.

My machine doesn't give me the option by default to open the file in Word, just Adobe Reader and the two browsers, Edge and Firefox. I actually thought I could get by with only using Firefox to read PDF files, but when I thought I needed to fill out the form I'm currently using as a test case a couple months ago, that's when I downloaded Adobe Reader. Gene, to answer your question about System Access, I could try that to use this PDF, but I've never installed it, and I'm not sure SA To Go works with Edge. Microsoft has announced that Internet Explorer will not work on Windows 10 within the next month I believe, so that may work to fill out the PDF in question, but that's not going to be a long term solution.
