Duff, here's great example of the problems we're seeing on the Adobe open forums.

Having been through similar problems in our shop, I'm leaning toward it being software problems with any combination of these programs:

—The source (authoring) program, such as MS Word or Adobe InDesign.

—The conversion utility that created the PDF, such as PDF Maker (Acrobat Ribbon) or MS export utility.

—Acrobat DC Pro, which she's using to check and correct the PDF.

—The screen reader software programs.

It's like looking for a needle buried in a haystack.
