Using Help for vision- and motor-impaired users
Vision- and motor-impaired users can use the Accessibility Setup Assistant to change how
PDF documents appear on-screen and are handled by a screen reader, screen magnifier, or
other assistive technology. The first time you start Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, the
Accessibility Setup Assistant starts if Acrobat detects assistive technology on your
system. (See Setting accessibility preferences.)
Single-key accelerators and keyboard shortcuts make document navigation simpler. For a
complete list of keyboard shortcuts, see About keyboard shortcuts. For additional
information on how Adobe products enhance electronic document accessibility, visit the
Adobe website at http://access.adobe.com.
To activate single-key accelerators:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows®) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS), and click
General on the left.
2. Select Use Single-Key Accelerators To Access Tools.
3. Click OK to apply the change.
