Hello all,

I have 7 page, text-only, PDF. I have ensured that tags are proper, and
that the reading order is correct. Nothing on page 1 will be read via
screen reader. I have tried this with NVDA and when that didn't work - I
tried Acrobat's read out loud feature. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Sometimes a stray null actualText attribute can get set on one of the tags hiding the content from screen readers. This can be found in the tag properties dialog then the edit tag button.
