Adobe acrobat reader 7.0 User Manual

 

The Setup Assistant helps you select several options that improve accessibility in Adobe 
Reader, particularly if you use assistive technologies. You can manually select additional 
options in the Preferences dialog box. The Setup Assistant includes the following options:

Note: Some options may not be available, depending on the type of assistive device you 
specify; the Setup Assistant presents only options that are appropriate for your device.

Lets you choose from a list of contrasting color combinations for text and background, or 
create your own. (See 

Makes text sharper and easier to read with a screen magnifier.

Set a percentage value (8.33-6400) to magnify documents on the screen. Allows low-
vision readers to read reflowed PDF documents more easily.

Keeps the pointer on automatically instead of requiring the user to select the Select tool 
after a PDF document opens. Select this option if you use a screen magnifier.

Specifies the reading order of untagged documents. (See 

Uses the reading order specified in the Reading Preferences instead of that specified by 
the tag structure of the document. Use only for PDF documents that are poorly tagged. 
(See 

.)

When selected, Acrobat lets the user confirm the options that will be used before it 
prepares an untagged document for reading by assistive technology. Tagging can be a 
time-consuming procedure, particularly in larger documents.

Deliver Currently Visible Pages opens one page or a few pages at a time (Page Only 
mode); Deliver The Entire Document At Once opens the entire document and may 
negatively affect performance. Deliver All Pages Only For Small Documents lets Adobe 
Reader selectively switch to Page Only mode if the document exceeds the page number 
limit that you set in Maximum Number Of Pages In A Small Document. Page Only mode 
is recommended for use with screen magnifiers but requires that you use keystroke 
commands in Adobe Reader (not in the screen magnifier) to navigate to new pages.

Select to disable the auto-save function. Each time a PDF document is auto-saved, the 
screen reader or magnifier must reload the document.

Allows you to save your place in the document for the next time you open it. 

Opens PDF documents from the Internet in the web browser instead of a separate Adobe 
Reader window. Deselect for greater control when navigating a document in a screen 
reader.
