Links don't activate using JAWS or NVDA
The internal and external links in all of my documents will not activate when I press enter using a screen reader. I have tested this in JAWS and NVDA. The links are tagged correctly and work as expected using a mouse. They also work as expected when navigating via keyboard, as long as the screen reader is not on. Please review, thanks!

Right - in that case maybe it's not the Windows version but the Acrobat version that's the problem.
I just remembered I have an older Acrobat version on my Windows 10 machine (Acrobat 2020.009.20074). Links work fine with this set up with both JAWS and NVDA.
However, the latest version of Acrobat on my Windows 11 machine is not working properly.
Links created in the new version work fine when tested on the older Acrobat version, but not at all when tested on the latest version.

This seems to be a WIndows 11 problem. Links work fine on Windows 10 with both JAWS and NVDA but not at all on WIndows 11.
