Re: PDF Alternative Apart from Edge?

Sascha Cowley
 

In my experience, Acrobat is even clunkier than it used to be. I still keep it around as it's slightly better with some tagged PDFs, and I often need to fill PDF forms, which Edge doesn't support.

You might want to try adobe acrobat. There is a free version. You can have
pdfs open in adobe and read them that way if you like.

Been using Edge to read PDF's for awhile now, but am trying to find one
that's more dedicated and that works better than Edge. Any recommendations?
Adobe products still the best solution? Or is there a more accesible
alternative?

Hello Ollie,

Mystic Access sells tutorials on the google suite " https://www.mysticaccess.com".

In the google suite, you need to enable screen reader support, and on the google suite access menu, you need to enable Braille support.
Look at " https://support.google.com/a/answer/1631886?hl=en".

I actually think Google designed it this way. Browse mode should be
turned off when using Google docs. Use it in focus/forms mode. Give
them accessibility feedback at the below link.

Hi gang,


First things first, I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe. This is going to be a fairly lengthy post, but I think it will help. 


Andrew: Is there only one version of office installed on your machine.  Sometimes this problem occurs if there are two concurrent installations running with one being active and the other though inactive is still installed. If this is the case, try uninstalling both, then re-installing your default version. 


If that doesn't solve things you may have to Change the permissions on the registry key. I would suggest that if you aren't comfortable with registry editing, make sure that you have assistance with running this step in case something goes wrong.


1. Open registry by typing regedit in run.
2. Search for the office productguid in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Components\
3. Right Click the Sub Key that starts with the following syntax:

'F1291BD604B8604......'
4. Select Permissions, Add 'Everyone' and give read only Access to that group.


I hope this helps. 


Tony
