When Adobe Reader opens and gives you options, select "Reading Order: Left-to-right, top-to-bottom.


If there are graphics on the page where the text offset may be jamming words together, change the graphics verbosity with insert V and then G to show tagged and alt attributes.


A tech at FS advised me to go into config manager, html options, graphics page to make those things permanent.

As you see, lines seem to get cut off, and you seem to have two things talked about in one line. Is there a way to split these two, such as a table-like structure one could navigate?
Thanks!
