No previous message | Next message →
Hello-
I am reviewing a PDF that has a logo at the top that does not show up in the
"reading order" view but is pronounced by JAWS. Any idea why this is
occurring? (I also can't find the image in the tag tree)
Thanks,
Jon

There are a number of possibilities, one of which is that this is a redundant image on the pasteboard i.e. outside the area of the document. The logo you can see might be artifacted, but the one you can't see isn't. We mostly see this sort of thing with documents authored in InDesign.
Are you sure Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) isn't in Reflow mode? If it is, it will be reading the Content panel, not the Tags panel. Or are you using some other PDF reader, such as a browser?
If you want to send me the document I'd be happy to take a look.

This happens in rare cases. I have experienced similar behavior where JAWS read the image despite of the image being not present in the reading order view and tag tree. The reason behind this was the source file was edited using an Acrobat plug-in "PitStop". Jaws would otherwise not read the image if not present in the reading order view and tag tree.
Thanks and Best,
