Apart from the issues mentioned above, I have the following: 1. almost impossible to work with comments (when some text is highlighted & commented upon). We can read the comment by hit & miss but exact location of highlighted text is never known. 2. Jaws 2018 with all versions of Adobe reader reads the PDF files just fine but latest version of Jaws (2019) doesn't read even the otherwise accessible PDFs. Same files can easily be read by NVDA. 3. in large documents, pressing enter on a link from table of contents doesn't take you to the desired location. 4. while pressing control + PGDN and going to the next page, screen readers at times jump to right at the bottom of the page.
Please give me a call, happy to discuss some of the points which I may have forgotten.
