[blindlaw] PDF Forms and JFW

[Craig Borne]

Am I able to send attachments via the list serve?
I have an attachment of the doc at home and can send it either to the
list serve or to folks individually, once I get home this evening.  I
believe that I am running Acrobat 7.0, so Tim's observation may be part
of my problem.

Craig,

Somehow I missed this note.  Is there a specific document that isn't
working that you could send to me?  I would like to see if the same
thing is happening with Window-Eyes, for one thing.  If you are saying
that you are having a common problem with words running together, I
think we should make sure we're not talking about some kind of JFW bug.
