Hi Laurie,

Is the PDF very large, like over 50 pages? I too have had this issue at times but know for a fact that the tags are present and correct. From memory there's a setting somewhere that references the size that could be adjusted.

Have you tried with NVDA, Voiceover or Read Aloud to see if the same thing happens?
