Re: Screen reader reading words as run-on

I had this on a document last week. I found that if I used Acrobat's "Edit text & images" feature to make any change in a text frame, such as adding one character and deleting it, screen readers then read all the text in that frame properly.

Unfortunately, editing a text frame means you have to re-tag it, but that only takes a few minutes and it's a cleaner solution than using Actual Text.
