Java document viewer limitations

There are some limitations of the Java™ document viewer.

The Java document viewer has the following known limitations:
The Intel Graphic Controller shortcut key conflicts with viewer shortcut
When a client that is by using the Java viewer toolkit, such as the applet viewer, and the Intel Graphic Controller application are active, there is a conflict with the Ctrl+Alt+I shortcut key. This shortcut is used in the viewer to invert a document.

The Graphic Controller has hot keys enabled by default. When the hot keys feature is disabled in the Intel Graphic Controller, the viewer keys work fine.

JAWS screen reader Version 8.0 interferes with Java viewer shortcuts that begin with the Alt key
The JAWS screen reader interferes with the shortcuts in the Java viewer that begin with the Alt key. In the Java viewer, Alt+Enter launches annotation properties, Alt+F4 closes any window, Alt+Left Arrow or Right Arrow moves the annotations. Trying to move annotations by using Alt+Up Arrow or Down Arrow can cause the annotations to jump or not move.

To move the annotations, close the JAWS screen reader and move the annotations by using the keyboard keys. If you have JAWS open, move the annotations by using the mouse.

Java viewer and applet viewer Print window does not have focus by default
By default, when the Print window opens in the viewer, it does not have focus. Therefore, you cannot navigate the window by using the keyboard (Tab to navigate or Alt + mnemonic character to select a particular field). To work around this problem, click the window to give it focus. Press Alt+Tab to switch to a different window.
