In Acrobat, the Organise Pages feature allows you to insert pages from other documents. Ten years ago, this used to destroy the tagging for the entire document, but I have had no such problems when I used the feature recently.

Subject: [WebAIM] PDF problem with jumbled content in the page content pannel

On This page the content is all jumbled. There is no rhyme or reason for the way the content appears. Fixing this using the content panel is going to be difficult if I have to manipulate the entries in the content tab for this page. Is there a better way to deal with this?

When I look at the text using the order panel, the text seems fine, but unfortunately the tags do not reflect this. I have tried removing the page structure using the reading order panel and then selecting text and specifying text for the text, but still get jumbled order. Is there a way to incorporate the same page from a different document that does not have this order problem?
Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions.
