Re: figures in wrong place

It is a known bug that started with Office 2007 and acrobat 9 (I
think)/might have been Acrobat X. It is fixed in Office 2013 with Acrobat XI
or the Microsoft save as PDF tool. There are two solutions for earlier
versions of Office/Acrobat: manually move the figures to their correct place
in the Tags Tree or, if you've used captions with the images, Artifact the
images and the screen readers will still read the captions.

Cheers, Karen

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,
