Hello all,

today I have received a PDF file with 90 pages. The purpose was to
help to evaluate
the Accessibility of that file .

the file was created on Adobe InDesign.

the problem is when I opened the file, the file immediately closed .

but, when turning off screen readers such JAWS and NVDA , there was no
problem opening the file and navigate through the pages .

I am using the last versions of Windows 10, Adobe DC Pro and NVDA and JAWS
screen readers.

I didn't ask the author of this PDF which version of Adobe InDesign he used
to create this document And I am wondering if this information is needed

so, I am wondering what could be the problem? What causes PDF file to crash
when using assistive technology and in this case screen readers ?

thanks in advance
