Subject: PDF: One Sentence Not Shown To Screen Reader
No previous message | Next message →
Hi,
I'm asking because I only have Adobe Reader, and as far as I know, limited ability to diagnose issues like this. We converted a Word document to a PDF. My partner, who has the full Adobe, says this sentence or paragraph is tagged properly. They see it on screen. The paragraph contains a link, in case that matters. It's hidden from two screen readers. What can we check to get this to appear? Also, what tools are available to me as a blind person to check PDF's and possibly update them?
Thanks.
Jim

Hi Jim,
This is difficult to evaluate without the PDF in question. Can it be provided?
