Keystrokes. Acrobat oers full keystroke access to navigation
and program items. Unlike other Adobe programs, like Photoshop and
InDesign, Acrobat doesn’t have you dene keystrokes yourself. Choose
Help > Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Help to open the Adobe Help
Viewer. Scroll down to the Keyboard shortcuts listing in the left frame of
the window—you’ll nd lists of shortcuts for work areas, getting around
the program, and using tools. (For a short list of keystrokes used to acti-
vate features like Read Aloud, check out Table 49.1 in #49, “Enhancing PDF
Accessibility”).
#45: Navigating a Document
Wrapping with Reflow
Readers using assistive
devices or very small screens
like those on personal dig-
ital assistants (PDAs) often
experience a problem called
reow. When you zoom in
closely to a page, what hap-
pens? You see a few words
and maybe an image. Not
only do you have to scroll
back and forth to see the
entire line, but also it’s diffi-
cult or impossible to under-
stand where you are in the
document at any given time.
Choose View > Zoom >
Reflow to automatically
wrap content on the page,
regardless of the level of
magnification. Keep in mind
that reflow is not a perma-
nent format: Whenever you
reset the magnification,
reflow is turned off.

Select the “Read form
fields” check box to have
text fields, check boxes,
and radio buttons in fill-
able forms read aloud.
