Accessibility

Adobe Systems is committed to developing and providing the vision and motion-

challenged community with the tools and resources to make digital information more

accessible.

Using accessibility features in Acrobat 5.0

All the features available in Adobe Acrobat Reader are supported in Adobe Acrobat.What

you can do in Acrobat Reader you can do in Acrobat, and just as easily. At present, accessi-

bility features are more robust on the Windows platform.This chapter covers using the

accessibility features of Acrobat 5.0.

To make an accessible PDF ﬁle,you must create the document with accessibility in mind.

For example, the PDF ﬁle must have structure. Screen readers will have trouble presenting

the document if the structure tree is incomplete. For more information on tagged PDF, see

“Repurposing Adobe PDF Documents”on page 82. Tagged PDF ﬁles created with Acrobat

5.0 are optimized for accessibility.You should include alternative text descriptions for

graphics and ﬁgures.Be sure to use fonts that specify character encodings,so that the

display and screen reader deliver the correct characters.

To create an accessible PDF from scanned paper documents (TIFF ﬁles), choose Tools >

Paper Capture, and follow the on-screen directions.

Using a screen reader with Acrobat 5.0

Mac OS does not offer a general accessibility interface for screen readers.Acrobat 5.0 does

not support screen readers on the Mac OS. On the Windows platform Adobe Acrobat

supports the use of several screen reader applications. Please refer to your screen reader

documentation for information on installation and use with Adobe Acrobat.The screen

reader will follow the logical structure of the document.You can control whether the

content is delivered to the screen reader in single pages, or the entire document at once.

For more information on accessibility preferences, see “Setting Accessibility preferences”

on page 7.

Using Acrobat and Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows only)

You can use the keyboard to control Adobe Acrobat 5.0 within Microsoft® Internet

Explorer. If you open an Adobe PDF document from within Internet Explorer, the

navigation and command keystrokes will function normally.The Tab key moves the focus

from the browser to the Acrobat document pane. Pressing Tab again will select the items

in the document. Press Shift + Tab to move in reverse.To return the focus to the browser,

press Ctrl + Tab.When in the browser, use the Internet Explorer keystrokes for navigation

and selection.

Using keyboard shortcuts for menu commands and

navigation

Navigation functions can be controlled through the keyboard as well as the mouse.You

can change focus areas, and manipulate menus and dialog boxes. Focus areas are large

sections of the interface that are treated as logical entities.Within these you may have

more detailed navigation.Focus areas have an outline around them.

Some of the gestures used to navigate may differ from those used in other Windows appli-

cations.This is due to the different types of elements that are available in Adobe Acrobat,

and also to ensure compatibility with earlier versions.

Press F6 to toggle the focus between the document and navigation panes.

Menu bar keystrokes

Press Alt or F10 to access the Menu bar.Then use the arrow keys and Enter to select from

Floating palette access (Windows only)

palettes,or created custom palette groups you can move the focus to them.Within the

palettes the Tab, arrow, and Enter keys will let you select and invoke actions.

Dialog box keystrokes

When the focus is inside of a dialog box, use the Tab, arrow, and Enter keys to select and

invoke actions. Dialog-speciﬁc controls are shown in the keystroke shortcut table. After

tabbing through all the items in a dialog box, the focus wraps back to the default

selection. Navigation will occur top down,left to right, ﬁrst by group box location.
