Using a screen reader

Adobe Reader supports assistive technologies that enable visually impaired users to 
interact with computer applications, such as screen readers and screen magnifiers. When 
assistive technologies are in use, Adobe Reader may add temporary tags to open PDF 
documents to improve their readability. Use the Accessibility Setup Assistant to improve 
how Adobe Reader interacts with the type of assistive technology you use. (See 

Setting 

accessibility preferences

.) You may also change your reading settings for the current 

document when using a screen reader by choosing Document > Change Accessibility 
Reading Options. (See 

Setting Reading preferences

.)

Contact your vendor for more information about using a screen reader or screen magnifier 
with Adobe Reader.
