About accessibility and Adobe PDF documents
Adobe Reader includes a set of accessibility features that help readers with motion or
vision limitations navigate and view Adobe PDF documents more easily on Windows and
Mac OS platforms. Many of these features can be adjusted by using a wizard, the
Accessibility Setup Assistant. (See
Setting accessibility preferences .)
Note: The Accessibility and Reflow features are available in the full version of Adobe
Reader, or can be installed as an update. To install the Accessibility update, choose Help >
Check For Updates Now.
