Re: Disappearing PDF content

The issue is with Microsoft Publisher which does a terrible job when you
convert a file to PDF except for simply printing it out.

One should only use Publisher for documents that are intended for print
only. And you should not be composing to Publisher, but rather starting with
a word processor and then importing the content in Publisher when you are
ready to go to print. This way you will still have the original document
(which presumably is fully accessible) in a format with logical order that
can be more readily converted to an accessible PDF.
