Making SumatraPdf accessible

Submitted by clauderenaud on June 25, 2007 - 12:46pm

Hi all,

The curent version of the SumatraPDf software is inaccessible for me (I'm blind).
But I can use Adobe reader because of its Screen reader accessibility feature integrated in it.
If I wanted to use SumatraPdf it is because of its portability essentially and in order to replace the very heavy Adobe reader.
I would like to know if accessibility could be enhanced in SumatraPDF, or if it could be possible to use when installed, the Adobe PDf rendering engine to overcome this accessibility problem ?

Error Starting Program Sunbird.exe

Submitted by champted on June 25, 2007 - 2:14am

When attempting to start Sunbird Portable v0.3.1 rev 2 from the Portable Apps Suite menu, I get a box entitled "Error Starting Program" and containing the text "The SUNBIRD.EXE file is linked to missing export USER32.DLL:UpdateLayeredWindow.", and when I click the OK box it goes away and Sunbird doesn't start.

I have searched the MozillaZine site, the support page on this site, and this forum, and I cannot find anything about this.

Environment: 1.8 GHz Pentium 4, Win98SE, over 600 MB space left on my 1GB PNY mini-Attache USB drive.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sunbird: Reminders/Notifications

Submitted by fot on June 12, 2007 - 8:15am

When Running Sunbird on work computer, any reminders that I have set to Pop-up and remind me of events, tasks etc... aren't "pulling through". In other word the event will come and go and no notificiation window will pop up to remind me. Yes I have selected to be reminded, Sunbird minimized in task bar will show, however work computers are set for task bar to be "auto hidden" and we as users are unable to change. Any Ideas?

Everytime I try to run Sunbird Portable, nothing happens.
The splash screen does not appear; no dialogs appear to indicate that anything went wrong; no files or registry keys are touched; it just closes.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm going to redownload later just to make sure...

Sumatra leaves trail of .pdf's in Recent documents

SORRY, I know I'm posting this a 2nd time, but by mistake I posted it the 1st time as the 000th entry in an existing thread. Don't want it to get lost. Apols if I'be broken etiquette.

Message follows:
Start Sumatra on a host computer and view one or more .pdf's; then close Sumatra; unfortunately you will find that the visited documents have an entry in Recent Documents (ie in Start -> Documents) on the host. In other words a trail is left on the host computer: not quite "portable"?
Any chance of seeing to this?
