Acrobat for Windows and Mac: Accessibility

Accessibility for Arabic PDFs

Although tagging Arabic content shows in Acrobat, however it doesn't display correctly in Tags panel, neither Content panel displays Arabic content properly, nor the Order panel.
"Read Out Loud" feature pronounce each Arabic character independently which drives a listener mad, I'm afraid.

I posted my findings on Adobe Acrobat forums, I wish you have the time to view.

    Acrobat's built-in Read Out Loud utility is NOT a compliant screen readers.
    It's a piece of junk that gives false positives and false negatives when used to test PDFs for accessibility (PDF/UA-1).

    Do Not Test With Read Out Loud.

    Dear Vivek,
    Thank you so much for addressing ROL within Acrobat Pro. Your suggestion worked perfectly. This is a very important solution you provided which I didn't know I can customize on my Mac.
    I shall update my post on Adobe Acrobat forum.
