Hi,
I have several Word 2010 documents to convert to PDF. While the resulting PDFs look OK, it turns out, for readers (such as NVDA) and checkers (such as pdfGoHTML) the figures are all put at the beginning, before any text. The figures are screen captures from Word, converted into JPGs.
Does this happen to other people? Is there a solution other than individually moving each figure with Acrobat?
Thanks,

Short answer - save files as .doc instead of .docx before publishing and the figures will fall into the right places.

It is a known bug that started with Office 2007 and acrobat 9 (I
think)/might have been Acrobat X. It is fixed in Office 2013 with Acrobat XI
or the Microsoft save as PDF tool. There are two solutions for earlier
versions of Office/Acrobat: manually move the figures to their correct place
in the Tags Tree or, if you've used captions with the images, Artifact the
images and the screen readers will still read the captions.
Cheers, Karen

I haven't heard this one before. Another solution is to use the inline with
text alignment setting.

Using .doc vs .docx is a huge drawback. Saving Word files as .doc rather
than .docx can affect many features and automated processes used by
institutions.
I know Word's XML schema embedded into Word 2007 and 2013 is the most
ridiculous XML coding on the planet and has many other known bugs, but MS
should have corrected the major problems by now. After all, it's been 7
years since the base format was released.
Does anyone know if this is still a problem in Word 2013, that they figure
tags are ganged at the top of the tag tree, reading order, etc.?

As always, I forward any bugs and things not working correctly on to
Microsoft as an MVP for Word. I send issues for any Microsoft product.
This issue/bug is fixed in Word 2013. Thankfully as it was a pain!
You can send specific issues/bugs to me off-list and I'll send them along.
The more voices we have on a problem, the better.
Cheers, Karen
