Word to PDF trouble-shooting

It sounds like one of two issues:

1. The "Bullet 1" paragraph style in Word has an outline level of 3. This is by far the most likely cause.

2. In Acrobat, the Role Mapping is set to convert "Bullet 1" to H3.

Subject: [WebAIM] Word to PDF trouble-shooting

Good afternoon,
We've run into a headache in that Word file templates were created, with proper Styles panel formatting, and then when they're converted to PDF the tags are incorrect.

For example: In Word, text will be formatted as "Bullet 1" but in the PDF it's tagged as "<H3>"

Does anyone have any insight into this error?

Thank you kindly!
Claire
