Adobe Screen Reader User Guide
Adobe has created a screen reader user’s guide for accessing PDF documents with assistive technology. The document was created in collaboration with AFB Consulting, the consulting division of the American Foundation for the Blind. The guide includes:
- Information about accessible PDF documents
- Adobe Reader accessibility features
- Types of PDF files
- Detailed information on using JAWS and Window-Eyes in a Windows-based environment
- How to perform common tasks with a screen reader
- How to navigate PDF documents
The 30-page guide can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/reader/.

Dallas ASTD Southwest Learning Summit & Exposition
A free event sponsored by the Dallas ASTD Chapter – however, they do charge for lunch with a pretty good luncheon speaker. A group of us went last year and learned some things including “stay” interviews. If I remember correctly, there was a good mix of online/traditional topics offered. They should have some details on their site fairly soon. Watch http://www.dallasastd.org/SouthWestLearningSummit.asp for updates.
