Accessing PDF Documents with Assistive Technology 25
The Accessibility Setup Assistant
When you press Enter on a topic with a plus sign, the list of subtopics is expanded beneath
it. When you press Enter on a topic with a minus sign, the list contracts. When you press enter
on a topic with no plus or minus sign, the help topic is displayed in the contents frame.
You can use this workaround: press Enter on an item in the tree view; if its related Help
information does not appear in the contents frame, then you will that this item has
subtopics, and you should now nd its subtopics below it in the tree view.
e Search page is accessible using JAWS. To search for help on a particular topic on the Search page, press F to
navigate to the Search edit eld. Press Enter to start “forms mode” and then type in a search term. Press Enter
again to exit “forms mode”. A list of links will appear in the navigation frame that relate to your search term.
Although most JAWS HTML navigation techniques work in the Adobe Reader Help system, you
cannot use the Ctrl+F JAWS Find command to locate specic strings of text. JAWS will report
that the string was not found, even when the string does actually appear on the page.
To nd specic strings of text in the Adobe Help Viewer use the JAWS virtual Find command,
Insert+Ctrl+F. Pressing the H key to move to the next heading is a useful technique
when using the Adobe Help Viewer. You can press H to jump to the rst heading in the
contents frame where you can read the currently displayed Help information.

the search screen. To do this, press Insert+Backslash.
