Adobe Reader still not accessible

The latest version of Adobe Reader (10.4.4, released December 19, 2012, running under iOS 6.1) does not read any PDF document content or page elements with VoiceOver. You can navigate the app's controls, but none of the actual PDFs are readable within the app, including their Getting Started document. The only way I found to read PDF content was by double tapping an "mp share iOS md m dk" button, which let me open the document in iBooks and read it there, or email it. This seems to be a regression from the previous report of not being able to "read fluently" with VoiceOver.

Version 10.5.0 was released to the App Store yesterday with VoiceOver improvements mentioned in the release notes: "What's New in Version 10.5.0 • VoiceOver integration for Accessibility • Sync last position via Acrobat.com • Go To Page • Smart Zoom • Night Mode • Screen Brightness Lock • Undo in Freehand Annotation tool • Performance improvements on newer devices. • FormsCentral PDF Validation • Various Bug fixes and improvements in Form handling" If anyone has tried this new version, please report back on your findings!

Adobe Reader

So, I just tried Adobe Reader for iPhone, for the first time, and it looks ceompletely accessible with VO! I remember people were saying how they couldn't read the getting started doc, I can, and navigation looks very easy.

Adobe Effort

First, I must commend the developers in charge of the new Adobe Reader for the IOS. They have done a toal 180 on this app. Going from being totally inaccessible to mostly accessible is awesome! Most of the app itslef appears to be very easy to use. I was able to load up a few of my Microsoft Books that I use for work. I was able to go through the entire book with ease. I love the fact there is two options to read through the PDF. One if using the Ticker of which page you are on and allowing you to flick up and down to the page you want. I really love the three fingers swiping to the left and right that also move the pages. The Tools are a bit confusing but with some practice where to find them. It can be used. Some of the areas doesn't quite work right with the typical flicking left and right. There was a section at one time that I could only get out of the page was doing a touch to find the certain buttons and this mode would not work with the flick to the right nor left. However, it was very accessible if you like to navigate around the page with your fingers. Something to note when you want to change pages with the three fingers swipe to the left or right. You will hear the ding sound as to us is typical that means there is nothing to do. In fact it does change the page. It pauses for about a second and then start to read the page to you. So it does work just wasn't expecting the ding and if they could remove this to advoid confusion. As in a typical PDF it will read the entire page. So I wasn't able to read by words, lines, and such. It is the entire page or nothing There are tools that you can add comments and highlight the PDF. I hadn't taken the time to really try this out fully but does appear to be fully accessible. You can Copy and change the View on the PDF as well. I am just very impressed by the work they have done. So job well done to Adobe! We can't wait to see any future updates for it and making it even more accessible! I know the Team would love to hear in what others have found with this app and if any part that you have found not to be accessible? What is your thought on their changes?
