I am an on m2 MacBook Air and love the experience when it comes to dealing with e-mail, a little web browsing and managing calendars and todo-lists.
Recently I received 2 different bills I have to pay in pdf as pdf documents.
It takes me relatively a lot of time to deal with this kind of document.
Reading those simply constructed but very inaccessible pdfs took me a lot of time.
Preview is difficult because I have to keep interacting with page by page within the document.
My question to you is:
how do you deal with small pdf files with important information? I can't throw them in to voice dream or speech central because I have to take information out of the document to put in my bank's web application.
Copying and pasting is also difficult. So any pointers wil be appreciated.
the workaround from now is opening these files in microsoft edge or Firefox.

Personal Website
As much as I'm a fan of the Mac, the native .pdf reader needs some improvement. I just select and copy these to my website. Then I can log in there and read them with navigation commands in tact. This probably won't work for those who don't own a website though. Another thing I've started doing--now that I have an eReader--is just connecting that and turning off speech. Hth and good luck.
It depends
Preview reads tagged PDF documents relatively well, with heading, table and list navigation available.
For untagged PDF files (the majority, unfortunately), results are mixed.
My only advice is to experiment. If Preview doesn't deliver good results, open the file in Chrome, for example. There's also Adobe Reader for Mac, although I wasn't impressed when I last tried it.
