I create rather large documents all the time and they are usually over 100 pages or more..
I'm having a problem with files that stop reading at the end of each page, the screen reader user would have to manually scroll from page to page by pressing control+page+down to move through the file, this is a problem because a lot of users may not know how to scroll through pages in this fashion..

I was told this is actually an Acrobat setting.
In Acrobat, by going to Advanced > Accessibility > Change Reading Options and by changing the radio-button to specify on reading the entire document which does work, however these settings aren't saved within the file..
The user would have to set these settings themselves, is there anyway to save these settings with the file??

I'm creating most of my files with word opening them up with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and testing them with Jaws screen reader..

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

I haven't tested this out with Jaws, but I would try setting the following property under the File > Properties > Initial View tab. Try setting the Page layout to Single Page Continuous. This setting will be saved with the file.

I don't know if Lori's suggestion will work, however, when you open a PDF with JAWS or other AT already open, it will pop up a little wizard asking accessibility settings questions. One of which is how should I (Acrobat) handle going to the next page? Automatically or manually are the options.
