PDF file missing spaces

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi everyone,

I know I've come across this before but I just can't recall the solution.  I've got a PDF file which when I read it, parts of it read with no spaces between words (ditto copying the text out or saving to a text file).

It is something to do with how Adobe Reader interprets the spaces in files created with certain other products, but what I can't remember, is how do I fix it, please?

Regards

Quentin.

That is odd. This looks like its been run from a deferred install, ie the file was already downloaded.
I do not see that particular error her, In my log a considerable difficulty is seen removing old folders and files though and ultimately it did not reboot but had to be manually restarted after dismissing a windows cannot write to file warning. This is common on my machine so I tend to ignore it. Initializing watchdog

Re: messages disappearing from my folders in outlook

Take the machine back to when you saw them last? However I'm not optimistic. I seem to remember this sort of thing happening in older Outlooks back when I tried to use it.
Its normally some corruption in the indexing in Outlook. Maybe there is an answer on the Microsoft Office forum?

Hi Group,

Is there any add on or perhaps some sort of technique for using the main interface or in particular, the registration panel in the Avast Free Anti Virus program?

I used to be able to enter the registration information every year for the free upgrade, but something may have changed either in NVDA or Avast to make this impossible for me this year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Read Allowed in Edge

Although I would not say what I wrote was in any way techy, I do think that the person who posted about this could have phrased it less combatively, and perhaps you should not have risen to the bait as much on here. Communicating in text is not that easy as the intonation of a voice is not really conveyed.
I tend to agree with you, but I have encountered people who find it hard to understand what we might consider simple instructions due to not knowing the lingo, so to speak. Your advice, though sound, can be seen as a problem to many people I have tried to teach things to. We are not all the same and words that convey sense to one person are just not in the vocabulary of somebody else especially if that person is dealing with English if that is not their native language.

I was taught if you cannot follow instructions and you cannot keep up I'm not stoping and you will fall behind. If you cannot keep up drop the class. If you cannot learn how to follow instructions other than what a simpleton does then you should go back to computer school where you learn to cut copy and paste until you can even navigate the file explorer and use the command prompt by yourself, at least the basic stuff like cd and sudo and stuff. I'm not advanced either but I can follow techy and geeky instructions, allowly but I can do it.

Take care

Latest nexts, problem when changing synthesizer

Michel Such
 

Hi,


1. Open the speech settings from the Settings dialog.

2.Try to change synthesizer (let's say from Espeak to Onecore, to take examples which very different settings list).

3. Press the OK button. An error sound is heard and the speech dialog is not refresh to reflect settings of the new selected synth, though the active synth is actually changed.


I run next version 15296,e74c62b3

Also, it's now very difficult to accept an invite from another person to
share a folder. You used to just get an email and it says who is asking
you to share and there are 2 buttons--one says accept and the other says
decline. That was so easy! Now you are taken to a web page of some kind
and it asks you to solve a captcha and this can no longer be done as
Webvisum is finished for Firefox, and I know of nothing like it that works
with any other browser. Seems like dropbox wants us to just go away.

Anyone care to comment?
If its also happening in windows 10 maybe we can write en masse to
Dropbox to get them to correct this.

Also, it's now very difficult to accept an invite from another person to
share a folder. You used to just get an email and it says who is asking
you to share and there are 2 buttons--one says accept and the other says
decline. That was so easy! Now you are taken to a web page of some kind
and it asks you to solve a captcha and this can no longer be done as
Webvisum is finished for Firefox, and I know of nothing like it that works

with any other browser. Seems like dropbox wants us to just go away.

Sure, but if one is going to write a company to complain about their
use of quote captures unquote on their web site, they're either going
to think you're nuts or won't know what you're talking about. It's a
good idea to call something what it is or one won't get very far. It's
like going to a deli and asking for a cam shaft sandwich when one
should have said Corned Beef Hash instead. the two phrases are
different things just as capture and captcha are two totally different
things.

I don't think so, is there no audio version?
The problem is everyone these days is security paranoid. I did not know

about the capchar, but I have just sent them an email about the
inaccessible
dialogues and messages.
I also have a big list of some of the problems on the dev list but no
dev
has commented. I shall turn it into a ticket if i get time this weekend.

However if its not possible to tweak nvda to get these things to read,
not
withstanding the cap char then i feel that somebody in NVDA a programmer

really needs to have a word with them as they talk the same language. A
lot
of it is written in python QT and C. It should be perfectly possible to
fix
the dialogues as they made them work before.
As for the Capchar, Google is gradually removing those in favour of a
question based system like.
If the sky is cloudy is it blue.
To which the answer is no of course.
I particularly like the one that says in the edit field, if you are not a

robot leave this field blank.

Unfortunately in windows 7 the dialogues do not read at all.
I've tried this on a machine with 7 home and 7 pro now with the same result. There is nothing special about the machines, no weird software no fiddles. It just does not work. and as all other software seems to work fine I'm rather bemused.

messages disappearing from my folders in outlook

Hi, everyone,

 

I don't know what happened to some of my messages that I had from other lists that I'm on. They just suddenly disappeared. I know I didn't delete them. I tried looking in the junk folder but they're not there. Is there something else I can do?

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

NVDA And Avast Free Anti Virus

Ron Canazzi
 

Hi Group,

Is there any add on or perhaps some sort of technique for using the main interface or in particular, the registration panel in the Avast Free Anti Virus program?

I used to be able to enter the registration information every year for the free upgrade, but something may have changed either in NVDA or Avast to make this impossible for me this year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm back.
Well, first of all I need to know some things, such as which browser are you using when you tried to save the pic.
But assuming you're using Firefox, that's what I use...
Before downloading the pic you must choose to see it in a full size. You'll be able to find it tabing in the page that opens with the comments and reactions about the� post.
So, after you're in full size pic screen, you should be able to save it as a pic on itself.

If it is just asigning the shortcut after you have gone into the

I think you can only use alt + ctrl + a letter like J for jaws or
another letter.


Make sure you save the settings.

a

As Brian asked, is your user account standard or administrator?
Could
you
give us more information, such as operating system being used, work

home
computer, is yours the only account on the computer etc.

The process I would use to assign a shortcut key is:
Select desktop icon
Press alt+enter to open properties
Tab to the shortcut key control and press the shortcut letter
alone,
the
CTRL+Alt part of the command is added automatically by Windows
Tab to OK and press enter.

If you get an error after pressing OK, please give full details

Hi all,

 

I’d like to invite you to the first of the three online seminars on Introduction to NVDA Technical Support. Due to financial and other reasons, we’ll be using TeamTalk 5.

 

Seminar details:

 

  • Date: June 23, 2018 at 17:-00 UTC (10 AM Pacific, 1 PM Eastern and elsewhere)
  • Location: josephsl.net TeamTalk server (server is josephsl.net, 10333 for both TCP and UDP)
  • Duration: about an hour

 

Topics to be covered:

  • What is technical support
  • Basic NVDA concepts useful for tech support purposes, such as object navigation, focus versus review cursor overview and so on

 

Things to do before coming to the seminar:

  • Read NVDA user guide
  • Become familiar with NVDA commands and features, especially 2018.2 features
  • Come up with at least three questions users may have about NVDA concepts and commands that may show up in tech support sessions

 

Hope to see you all next week.

Cheers,

Joseph

If it is just asigning the shortcut after you have gone into the
properties tab down to shortcut and asign one.


I think you can only use alt + ctrl + a letter like J for jaws or
another letter.


Make sure you save the settings.

Hi all,

I solved the problem by going to Control Panel and User accounts. But
my problem with assigning a shortcut key to an icon on the desktop
still persists. I press alt+enter to go to properties for the
shortcut
I have a problem what to write in the "start in" edit field. The
desktop icon in question is JAWS.
I thank you all for your responses.

Hi Nevzat
Only an administrator account can change a standard account to an
administrator account. That is why I asked if there are any other
accounts
on the computer. If there are no other accounts, let me know and
I'll
give
you details of a different method of solving the problem.

You can check if there are any other accounts by pressing Windows+i
to
open
Settings, then press enter on Accounts. Tab to the list of topics
and
arrow
down to Family and other people and press enter. Tab to the list of
other
account names and types on the machine and see if there is a user
account
with administrator privilidges. If there is, get the person to log
on
using
that account, then they could use this settings process to edit your
account
details and change it from standard to administrator.

Cheers

Chris, yes, I get an error message saying I need to have
administrator
permission. My operating system is Windows 10. I believe I have
standard user account. I tried to change user account and typed my
name and I was told that user account already exists. If I type
administrator would it change to that?

Hi Nevzat
I would have thought you should be able to assign shortcuts as
these
are
personal to your account and don't affect other users, so should
not
require
admin priviledges. If you are using a work computer it maybe that
a
corporate group policy is in effect which denies the capability but
this
would be unlikely.

As Brian asked, is your user account standard or administrator?
Could
you
give us more information, such as operating system being used, work
or
home
computer, is yours the only account on the computer etc.

The process I would use to assign a shortcut key is:
Select desktop icon
Press alt+enter to open properties
Tab to the shortcut key control and press the shortcut letter
alone,
the
CTRL+Alt part of the command is added automatically by Windows
Tab to OK and press enter.

If you get an error after pressing OK, please give full details

Cheers
Chris

Hi Group,

I am trying to assign shortcut keys to icons on the desktop, but it
won't go through as I am told I have no administrative privileges.
Using NVDA how do I get administrative privilege on my computer?
Your response will be greatly appreciated.
