I've noticed this behaviour with JAWS as well and there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason as to which documents this happens on. Additionally, I've found that JAWS will suddenly, and randomly, start reading without advancing the pages. It doesn't matter how many pages are in the document or whether it has form controls or not.

It is PDF!

Cheers, Karen

Subject: [WebAIM] NVDA screen reader_PDF reading

Hello everyone!
I'm testing some PDFs with NVDA screen reader and the whole document is read by NVDA, but the page doesn't change, it remains on the cover page, as NVDA reads through the document.
Is this considered non-compliant or is there a setting the change to make it toggle along as it reads?

Thank you!
Claire
