[gui-talk] Opening PDF files

[Dean Martineau]

In fact, that file opens just fine.  I also am blind, using JAWS.  Make sure
that you tab to the link for the file.  Then choose Save Target as from the
context menu.  The file name you are offered is a .pdf file, indicating that
you do want to download it.  Once downloaded, open the file with Adobe
reader.  This one was easy to read.

Subject: [gui-talk] Opening PDF files

Hello all,

I have been finding more and more web content with PDF files I can not open.
As a matter of fact, I don't think I could ever access PDF documents with
success.

The page linted to below has a additional link that says "journalism." That
will open a PDF. How do I get to this file as a totally blind user?

I have been taught to right-click, or press the applications key to "save
file as" but this does not work on the file I am trying to get to at the
Boston University site.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Antonio Guimaraes
