What kind of performance have you experienced? I played around with the options for reading and cashing different amounts of the file, currently visible pages etc. I'm glad to hear that navigation keys work, I have not tried the app on Yosemite yet, so I was not sure. If you have looked at a file that you know has a table in it I guess that means tables are not accessible right now, which is disappointing. I noticed the same thing about tables that you mentioned, but I was not sure weather or not they held actual content, or if they were just excess elements. Other than that, There's a few unlabelled buttons, I couldn't really find a table of contents, but it's definitely a step in the right direction, probably better than preview but it still needs some work IMO.

Tabbing does at least work and I was able to interact with text fields, buttons and check boxes but I had no idea how to make a choice out of the combo box. If you see a form field in the text, you ill have to click it with the mouse, or tab into it. The VoiceOver cursor doesn't seem to follow the keyboard focus at all. Tables don't seem to be recognised properly and just read as 'empty table' though this could be the files I tried. Once you interact, it feels very much like reading a webpage, navigation keys included, so that's good. If you don't see it, press the window's zoom button which should fix it. Once you open a file, you will need to interact with the document pane which will be read as the path to the file. This is because at the moment, the VoiceOver say all doesn't work and will only read what's focused.

You can also configure the built-in read aloud feature, something you should probably do if you want to read long documents. In the preferences you can configure how the text gets processed by screen readers if it's a big document, amongst other accessibility options. My findings, after downloading a couple of accessible pdf's is that it's finicky to get going, but once you do it works quite well. This will either help somewhat or make life even more confusing than it already is. I created a forum thread about this app a few minutes before you did, but since discussion seems to be focused here, I'll just paste what I wrote there.

I'll Update this if I find out anything els.īy the way, I just realized that the save and save as menus seem to be inaccessible. You might try either changing some settings in the accessibility preferences, the reading preferences, or the page view in the view apple menu. I have been playing with the settings and preferences a lot, so I can't say for sure what to try, there are several options for how the app reads pages, although they don't seem to change much from my experience. For example I have not found a way to be able to read a document strait through without having to deal with turning pages I hope there is a way to change that, but I have not found it yet. Moving through pages does seem to be one of the more annoying parts of the app so far. If you go into the toolbar and hit one of the next or previous page buttons do those work? Just want to trouble shoot and make sure its the arrow keys not the document that you are in. I really don't know, theres a lot about the app that I don't fully understand and trial and error seems the best fix.

I don't think its as good as it could be, but it is, perhaps, a start for a truly accessible pdf reader on the mac. I would love to hear from other people about your experiences with this app.

Adobe says it is working on a user manual for voice over users, perhaps that will clear things up. I think there could simply be things that I am missing. Also it has already crashed on me a few times, and navigation seems to be a bit inconsistent.

There also just seem to be some stability issues as i mentioned the app is slow.

I also can't figure out how to type texts into form fields. There are a number of things that I don't understand about the app yet, for example it looks like there is a way of accessing headings, I can navigate through them, but I can't seem to move focus to them. You can also check boxes, and use, both skip nav and web links I believe. You can read text in the new app, although it seems to make voice over a bit sluggish. It is definitely better then the previous reader app, since that one was totally inaccessible to voice over. I have not had much time to look at the app yet, but my first impressions are mixed.

As I posted last week, Adobe has claimed that its latest update to its pdf reader app on the mac brings full accessibility to tagged pdfs.
