Read Out Loud Feature


The Read Out Loud feature can definitely make some PDF files more accessible to people who are unable to access a PDF with their regular screen reader.

2. Accessibility quick check


The Accessibility Quick Check cannot always correctly identify whether a PDF is accessible or not, but it can alert the user whether the PDF is tagged or not or if there are glaring accessibility errors.

3. Reflow
Reflow is more than just an accessibility feature. It is also useful for people who use handheld devices or other devices that have small screens. There are two main advantages to reflowing a document. 1. It eliminates the need for horizontal scrolling. 2. It changes the reading order to reflect either the order of the PDF tags or, if the document is untagged, tries to infer the correct reading order. Although this is usually an advantage, the reading order in Reflow view can sometimes be more confusing, especially if it has multiple columns or complex tables.

4. Automatic scrolling
Automatic scrolling might be especially helpful for a person who has a motor disability, or for someone who is using the Reflow feature. Like Read Out Loud, there are several shortcut keys to learn. Luckily, they are pretty intuitive. To enable automatic scrolling, choose View > Automatically Scroll or press Ctrl + Shift + H. The other shortcuts are listed in the table below.

Controls and shortcut keys for automatic scrolling Control Start/stop Change scrolling speed Change scrolling direction reverse/forward Previous/next page Shortcut key(s) Ctrl + Shift + H Number key 0-9 or Up and Down arrows Hyphen or minus (-) key Left or right arrow key

5. Save as (accessible) text


You can save a PDF as plain text which can then be printed as braille. As with other accessibility features, this only works if the reading order is clear and if there are no complex tables. For example, the following is a screenshot from the last page of a PDF file from Adobe on accessible features of Acrobat 7. It may be helpful to open this pdf from the Adobe site - external link or view an accessible html version of the table in the screenshot.
