Re: Acrobat instability when using screenreaders

After running a few more tests, the instability still seems to be caused by something other than incorrectly using headings or list tags. I removed the list tags and republished the document from Word, but the problem remains. While navigating the PDF file with a screen reader, the Acrobat application eventually gets sluggish and locks up.

I even tried creating a new Word document and pasted all the content back into the document as just plain text. After publishing to PDF the same problem still exists...

Any ideas?
