Hey again Paul I have, as I said, PDF Pen Pro on my computer, and have had for some time. I just kept letting it update itself.
I did some experimentation with the IRS web site, and here's what I think I have figured out, and I think we have it at least as good as blind Windows users. PDF Pen Pro is even faster than Windows, at least with Adobe and JAWS. I tried using a form that had not been altered for screen readers, and forget it. It would read but not edit, at least I couldn't get it to work. However, the accessible versions that have been altered for screen readers work fine with PDF Pen Pro, using the tab key to go from field to field, just like in Windows. This makes me happy, although I may have to bother the Alternative Media Center to get out that Schedule C.
