I don't know if this explanation applies here, but for JAWS to read a PDF
document in the correct sequence, the file's creator must properly tag it. It
isn't just a JAWS issue. Tagging also plays a role in how well OCR scans a PDF
file for printing.
I'm no expert in this area, but when all else fails, it might be worth
contacting the file's creator to ask them to look into tagging. I did that
recently with a large organization, and they both understood and agreed to fix
the problem in future PDF files.

Rick,
Change the reading order in the accessibility menu.

Whenever I try to read an article in PDF format, when I use the Say All
command I find that columns are not separated and JAWS, rather than reading by
column, reads the text straight through, which makes the reading of the article
confusing. Is there a way you can get JAWS to read just individual columns
when reading a document in PDF format?
