<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Mark,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s been my experience with VoiceOver, on macOS, that PDFs do not read well at all. By default PDFs open in Preview, the Mac’s Adobe Reader equivalent. You can use Adobe Reader for Mac, but I don’t think the experience is much better.
I’ve never been able to navigate in a PDF on the Mac by headings, or even been able to read a PDF smoothly. I’d have to try navigate a table in a PDF on the Mac to see if it works well, but I have a suspicion that it won’t.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t consider myself a VoiceOver expert, so perhaps someone with more experience using PDFs on the Mac can comment further.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></p>
