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
