1. Acrobat Reading Order matches Source Program Reading Order

   All of our PDFs need to be accessible to people with disabilities. For each PDF we need to generate a report in Acrobat that proves that the document is accessible. One area that isn't working well is the reading order.

   Currently Acrobat's reading order means a computer reading order. We need a disability reading order. Acrobat's reading order is generated by the reverse of the layers panel in the source program where the document is designed. If we want to check the disability reading order we have to go to the tags panel and click on ever single line.

   Can you create an option to check the disability reading order of a document, meaning have the Acrobat check the reading order by auto populating from the source program's reading order panel?

2. Accessibility Features converting wrong from Word to PDF

   Formerly we would save from Word to PDF Using "Save As" - Options - PDF/A and the accessible settings would hold.

   Currently that is not true and creates additional errors. If we save using the generic "Save as Adobe PDF" the Accessible features carry over fine.

   We have documentation out on the first procedure so it would be nice to have it fixed. It worked wonderfully in the past.

3. Improve accessibility checks/fixes

   Acrobat Pro should be able to find all accessibility errors and suggest a fix for each one, with a button to fix it, similar to find/replace in a document. When I use Acrobat Pro, it finds some of the accessibility errors, but no option to fix them. When I put it into PAC for the final check, it finds more errors so I am spending hours on each document that our agency posts online.

4. Read Aloud is Not Following Reading Order

   Despite spending hours rearranging text elements in an interactive PDF exported from InDesign (both InDesign and Acrobat up to date as of March 2026), the read aloud feature is not following the reading order. It's also breaking up sentences despite there being no break in the tagged area.

   It took so long to get elements in the right order. It's also incredibly frustrating having to save a new backup after every 5 pages because Acrobat's Reading Order panel is so buggy and unreliable. On top of that, it doesn't even have a single undo function, let alone multiple undoes.

   When are you going to sort out all of the many, many issues in the InDesign/Acrobat accessible PDF workflow?

5. A VERSION THAT DOESN'T HAVE AI

   Would be great to have a version that wasn't trying to force AI on you... Can those who want AI features use an AI version, and keep the base version without AI?

6. tags

   After that last update, converting a word doc to pdf is resulting in tagging errors. Specifically, normal text is tagged as headings, heading tags do not follow how the word document was tagged.

7. Cursor Flickering in Adobe Acrobat Pro with Enlarged Cursor

   This issue appears to be related to cursor behavior when accessibility settings are enabled. For accessibility reasons, the Windows cursor size is set to 9 (enlarged). When using Adobe Acrobat Pro, moving the cursor over a PDF document or navigating between form fields causes the cursor to rapidly switch to the hourglass/working icon, especially when hovering over text fields. This constant flickering and icon change is distracting and makes it difficult to work comfortably.

   I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps, but the issue still occurs:

   • Adjusted Adobe Acrobat Preferences
   • Changed Windows OS settings (animations turned off)
   • Reset the Adobe application
   • Performed a full uninstall and reinstall

   The problem only occurs when the cursor is enlarged. When using the default (normal‑sized) cursor, the issue does not occur.

   A video demonstrating this behavior has been attached for reference.

   I have been directed to create a Request/Bug Report for this after working with Adobe tech under CASE ID - E-002148977

8. Modernize and consolidate the Accessibility tagging features in Acrobat

   Make it easier to use Acrobat's accessibility interface.
   Make a keyboard shortcut to add New Tags or add multiple tags.
   REMOVE "AUTO TAG DOCUMENT" FROM IMMEDIATELY BELOW "NEW TAG." Or at least add a confirmation that you want to Auto Tag.
   Allow us to UNDO Auto Tagging. (Auto tagging sucks, by the way)
   Maybe read and apply all of the feature requests and bug reports that will improve the accessibility features instead of sitting on them for 10+ years?
   Merge the reading order and tag panel so that they're not always glitching each other. Making changes to the reading order will often completely mess up the tags.
   Fix bugs where tagging selections just doesn't work.
   Fix bugs where the program crashes randomly when trying to tag unmarked content.
   Just make everything more user-friendly.

   It isn't hard to understand the concept of tagging for accessibility, but for some reason Acrobat uses the most archaic, convoluted interface and processes to apply those tags. Considering that every government agency out there is rushing to make their PDF documents accessible to comply with Title II of the ADA, you would think more resources might have gone towards making this program (which is considered the standard tool for this type of work) actually useable. If Adobe doesn't do it, someone else will create a program that will.

9. BUG: Titles Fail Accessibility Check

   Document titles consistently fail the accessibility check when a title is already present.

   This happens to me and my peer. We use InDesign 2026 to generate PDFs and the current version of Acrobat 2025.001.20997 fails the title every single time. It also seems to fail the title on documents created with MS Word.

   The fix is to open File > Properties, cut the title, OK out of the dialog, open File > Properties again, and paste the title back in. Then it quits failing the title.

   This is an annoying bug that should be fixed.

10. Accessible PDF form not working with NVDA in Adobe Acrobat Pro 2025

    I have created a PDF form using Adobe Acrobat Pro and tagged every form manually to ensure that the NVDA user can fill out the form without accessibility issues, but NVDA does not interact with the form fields and user can not enter the text in the fields. If users use the Arrow key, NVDA reads all the text on the form but when using the Tab key for navigation, focus does not move and NVDA does not announce anything.

11. ZoomText force scrolls to top of PDF

    We have three users all experiencing the same issues in Acrobat Pro. When opening a multi-page PDF, the PDF forcefully returns to page one. We have tried numerous settings in Acrobat and ZoomText:
    Method 1: Change reading settings in Adobe Reader app
    1. Open Adobe Reader and either click Edit > Preferences or use the hotkey CONTROL+K.
    2. Click Reading in the category list.
    3. On the right hand side of the dialogue look for 'Page vs. document' drop down and set this to 'Read entire document'
    4. Then click 'OK' button or press ENTER to dismiss the dialogue.
    5. Then close and restart Adobe Reader to check if the fault is resolved.

    Method 2: Remove/Reinstall Adobe PDF support module.
    1. Open Windows Explorer and click on and paste the following into the address bar: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\ZoomText\2022
    • Note: Please adjust the year/version in the above example to accommodate the version of ZoomText installed if it is not 2022.
    2. Then run AhoiUtil.exe in that folder.
    3. Then highlight the PDFSupport module ahpdfSupport and click Remove button.
    4. Then click Add Module button and select ahpdfSupport to reinstall the module.

    • ZoomText 2026
    o ZoomText menu, Preferences > Advanced > Display Adapter - try Magnification API setting
    • ZoomText 2025
    o ZoomText menu, Help > Advanced > Display Adapter - try Magnification API setting
    • Acrobat, Edit, Preferences (Ctrl + K),
    o Accessibility
    • Set page layout style to Single Page Continuous
    o Multimedia & 3d,
    • Ensure Preferred Render is Software
    • Disable Enable hardware rendering for legacy video cards
    o Reading
    • Change Page vs Document to Read the entire document

    The issue persists, even after reinstalls etc.

12. Accessibility error If there's a hyperlink in the footer of a PDF (converted from word)

    The Adobe help documentation does not cover an link annotation accessibility error If there's a hyperlink in the footer of a PDF (converted from word), as it happens because the link in the footer turns problematic annotation during PDF conversion rather than a normal body link.

    Most common reasons i found were:

    The footer is being treated as an artifact or decorative repeated content
    If the footer is artifacted or tagged incorrectly in the PDF, Acrobat may flag the hyperlink because the link annotation exists but is not properly associated with the content.

    Word sometimes exports footer text infragments, especially if different formatting is applied within the same footer. That can cause tagging errors or reading order issues.

    A footer link may show up as a link visually, but the annotation is not nested properly under a Link tag in the tag tree.

    Repeated links in headers and footers can create a large number of identical annotations. If even one converts badly, Acrobat may report an error.

    The PDF was created in a way that strips or weakens accessibility structure
    If someone used Printto PDF instead of Save As PDF or Export to PDF, links and tags often break.

13. Bug: Link Tag structure reversal on export

    Bug/issue: Tagged Link structure reversed when exporting from InDesign 2026 to PDF - Windows.

    We have a hyperlinked grouped object in InDesign 2026, when exporting this to PDF the Tag structure makes the <Link> tag the child of the parent <Figure> (which is incorrect), whereas when the same file is converted and exported from InDesign 2025, it makes the <Figure> the child of the parent <Link> (which is correct).

    This is causing an accessibility failure, and we have 300 to manually correct in our PDF document which is time consuming, and we don't want to convert the file should anything shift or change the artwork or functionality in anyway.

17. Trial period- I can't access any of the tools I am supposed to be trying out. Your TRIAL is a SCAM!

    I am furious that I wasted my time signing up for what I believed to be a trial period to determine if your product would be beneficial to my position; however, I conclude that I can do no more with yopur FREE trial than I could without it and it is merely a ploy to get people to sign-up with the hope that they forget to cancel. Next time, advertise that the trial only allows access to two tools out of the numerous ones that you list to get people to sign up. I'm extremely disappointed and will be sure that no one else at my company tries your free trial and wastes their time and money either.

20. Spanish translation issue in Acrobat Accessibility options in the Spanish version.

    In the Spanish version of Adobe Acrobat, the option corresponding to
    “Change only black text and line art” is translated as:

    “Cambiar solo el color del texto negro o arte lineal”

    The use of “o” (or) is misleading. It suggests an alternative or exclusive choice, while the original English text clearly refers to both elements together (“text and line art”).

    This wording creates confusion for users and makes it difficult to understand how this option interacts with the following one (“Change line art as well as text”).

    Suggested fix: replace “o” with “y”, or rephrase the Spanish text to explicitly state that both black text and black line art are affected.
