Hi all,
For a while now, I have noticed that some PDFs are not read properly by Jaws or NVDA. What happens is that multiple words are read as one long word, with no spaces between the words. This is not on all PDFs, just some. I have never encountered this problem with PDFs that I have created using either MS Word or PDF995. On the PDFs that have a problem, I have extracted them to text files and the problem will also show up in the text file. Someone had once suggested that the problem is related to the original font being used, but that does not make any sense. So, Can anyone shed a little light on this problem?
Here is a link to a PDF with the problem I have described (from last weeks Top Tech Tidbits newsletter):

I am using Windows 7, Jaws 16/NVDA 2018.1 and Acrobat Reader DC 2018.011.20040.
