Hello Andre, Kelly Jo and everyone -

It is great to hear from you...we have missed you!

Perhaps you need to download the latest newest free version of Adobe  
Acrobat Reader...It is a good idea, so you don't get messages saying  
you are not up to date!

Go to this page to download:

http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/

I have a PC laptop, running Windows XP, and I just downloaded Adobe  
Acrobat Reader 8.1 for Windows XP...

Andre - In version 8.1, under the Edit Menu at the top, click on that  
and you will get a Pull-Down Menu...The Preferences are at the very  
bottom...the last item...at the bottom of the Edit Menu...

In Preferences, click on Accessibility on the left of the Preferences  
box.

Make your choices, such as Use High Contrast Colors and so forth.

Then when you open PDF documents, some of them will reverse  
automatically for you...so at least that is better than nothing...

Our new DocumentMaker will have a way to create the reversed  
documents you need, but it is special software and for me to have to  
do two sets of the same document...one for sighted people and one for  
blind people, is a great deal of work...so I cannot promise how many  
of them I can create that way, but at least you could create your own  
that way too, if you are interested later...

So the future is bright!

Someday I would like to hand you a Mac so you can see everything  
reversed and all the problems go away!

Val ;-)
