Hey @msftedad,
Seems like it might be an accessibility issue in your PDF. In Adobe Acrobat, try activating "Read Out Loud" from the View menu.
If that doesn't work, check how you're making the PDF. Real text, proper ALT tags for images, and structured tables can help screen readers work better.
Review the accessibility of your output PDF using the Accessibility Checker in Adobe Acrobat. This can spot any problems.
Make sure to check whether your PDF generator supports creating accessible PDFs.
Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
@lesha0 , Thanks for sharing the information. We will check this with our internal team and if any further queries we will get back to you.
Hi @lesha0 , In Adobe acrobat, we have tried turning on the Read Aloud, where it announces as blank when the focus goes to link.
But we are unable to spot the issue with the Accessibility Checker and also, PDF generator supports creating accessible PDFs.
