I have several pdf documents Hannah’s teacher was kind enough to send me so I could help her with her homework and in turn I was given permission to print them out on the embosser at work. However, we’re not allowed, of course, to just start downloading stuff, even as simple as acrobat reader on the computers at work for security reasons and it was tough as ever getting Jaws NVDA up and running, to the point where we had to have the IT department come and help out. So as a result, I’m sometimes sent documents at work that I have to e-mail back to whoever sent them, letting them know that I can’t open them, as where somehow or another, a verry few of them will, so those that won’t have to be converted by whoever sent them into word documents, which I unfortunately have no idea how to do.
