[Athen] Touch Up Reading Order issue on Adobe Acrobat Pro

[Adam Kosakowski]

Hello Listers!

I am working on making a student survey form accessible, but I am having issues with assigning a logical reading order. When I first open the PDF file, Read and Write's PDF Aloud can read it OK (just in a bad order), but after I start reordering it, it begins to be read as jibberish! I attached a screen shot pointing out what I mean. Just in case if the attachment doesn't go through, something that used to be read as "Fall 2015 Student Satisfaction Survey" is now being read as "FGHHIJKLMNOPQRSOING..."

I have been unable to find any mention online of "PDF tagging changes read text to jibberish" and in general I am not sure what to enter into Google here! Any insight would be appreciated! In the mean time I am going to see if I can get my hands on the original file, maybe it was not a PDF file originally and I can make the original file accessible instead.
