JAWS isn't reading tagged and recently touched up .pdfs

Hello all,

I recently made an unpleasant discovery that JAWS won't read a few .pdfs that have tags and have recently had their reading order manually touched up. Instead of hearing the text of each .pdf, all I'm hearing is the dreaded "blank blank blank" and "tab tab tab tab" when I use the tab button Has anyone had anything similar happen? If so, how did you remediate it?

Many thanks,
LL
