Re: New bug in Adobe PDF Maker

We saw this bug in Microsoft Office 2010. With that bug, all figures in the document/PDF from any Office application were thrown at the top of the tags tree.

This is when I started adding captions to graphics. It took less time to artifact the graphics than it did trying to drag them around the tags tree. With the captions present, those using adaptive technology or who required a Braille copy of the PDF had access to the alt text/knew there was a graphic there.

So the bug has reappeared but now scattering the graphics!

Everything old is new again!

Cheers, Karen
