Hi Dave,
This is a respond to your Athens mail list question regarding NVDA/pdf crash.
According to Open source NVDA developers (#ticket 1278 fixed) it's a known issue and here is the attached link If your user has Adobe reader 10 ..it's a known crash for reading tagged PDF,
Here is the link for fix if your user has source code and speaks python http://www.nvda-project.org/changeset/main%2C4070
( since we are both in Colorado I ll be happy to help with you coding needs if you desire)
I do have NVDA on my pc and when I go back to adobe 9 using XP After choosing infer reading order selection nvda reads tagged/ocr PDF just fine.
It sucks because adobe 10 is a little faster.
cheers
Selim Özi.

Are all those PDFs accessible PDFs? In other words, can she read them let's say with a demo copy of JAWS?
Thx,

Hello!
I am working with a student who is starting out with NVDA. She can use it to read MS Word documents aloud and to navigate in the operating system.
When she tries to read PDFs the program will not read. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Not all PDF's are made equal. NVDA supports Acrobat Reader quite well. If the PDF file has exposed text, then it will be read. If the file is tagged well, then NVDA will deal with it quite well.
Regards,
Pratik
