Re: PDFs won't read to end (corrected)

Hello forum, this is my -ahem- second post. The first was a bust.

I have a Word-generated PDF that Jaws is having problems with. It stops
at the end of each page. We do not have this issue with our other PDFs.
Acrobat's Read Out Loud does not display the same behavior for me; it
reads it to the end. I generated the PDF with both the
accessibility/reflow and advanced tagging boxes enabled in the Acrobat
tab in Word. I did not re-tag the document in Acrobat but I did add some
alt text and delete some blank pages. The only other obvious difference
is that this document also has bookmarks. Can anyone point me in the
right direction of what to check?

Thank you (again),
Amy.
