Yes Iain, I have tried whwat you suggest. Changing reading preferences in the list has worked for me with other PDFs but not with this one. For example, On some pages the right hand column is read first and on others the heading at the top of the page is read out of sequence. On the first page the contents are read first, then a small greeting paragraph, then the heading, then the body of the text. It sort of makes sense, but it's not actually as intended! The columns being out of order are, of course, a much worse sin. It would be nice to know whether something in the original layout can be changed, but I fear it comes down to actually marking up propperly in the first place so that the Adobe Reader isn't left to its own devices., From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- Iain Lackie Subject: [access-uk] Re: Anyone been involved in PDF creation? Ray Have you tried changing the reading preferences? I have found it sometimes helps in this kind of situation to change the reading order to 'use reading order in raw print stream. You can get to the place by pressing CTRL+k and arrowing down till you hit 'reading'. Tab once to 'reading order' and arrow down and then press ENTER on the option you want.

Maybe this is a long shot, but wondered if anyone's had experience of reading local newsletters produced in PDF format? I'm involved with a local organisation which produces its normal print size news letter in Publisher, but publishes it to the web in PDF form. At present the page elements don't read in the proper sequence. I'd very much like to know how this could be remedied, but suspect it may well involve the purchase of Acrobat Professional which is very expensive. Any comments on or off list welcome.
