Short answer - save files as .doc instead of .docx before publishing and the figures will fall into the right places.

Subject: [WebAIM] figures in wrong place

Hi,
I have several Word 2010 documents to convert to PDF. While the resulting PDFs look OK, it turns out, for readers (such as NVDA) and checkers (such as pdfGoHTML) the figures are all put at the beginning, before any text. The figures are screen captures from Word, converted into JPGs.
Does this happen to other people? Is there a solution other than individually moving each figure with Acrobat?

Thanks,
