Re: Adobe PDF Tables Issue Solved

Glad you got it sorted! Oh don't even get me started on well formed Word
tables going into Acrobat and every cell becoming a header for no
reason...so this doesn't surprise me! I also see where text in links and
lists goes into one tag, and not the proper hierarchy when I am using the
latest of both Word and Acrobat on Windows. Doesn't always happen, but when
it does...boy is it enjoyable to redo tags (sarcasm tag here).

Cheers
