   Hi,

   Thank you for raising these accessibility issues. The post mentions about the following six bugs being introduced with the update that went live on September 14, 2021

   1: Alt-Text from MS Word is not converting into the PDF. Instead, it is dropped and gibberish code is inserted
   2: Every cell border on every table cell is being tagged as <P>PathPathPathPath
   3: The underline on Hyperlinks should be tagged as artifacts
   4: Borders and background shadings on Text Boxes are being tagged as a combination of <Figure>s and PathPathPath
   5: Paragraph borders and shadings: same deal as #4 above.Per the PDF/UA-1 standard, they are visually decorative and should be artifacted
   6: Dragging and dropping elements in both the Tag and Order panels is now broken.

   Would like to mention that out of these, #1 and #6 were introduced with the Sep 14 update and remaining (#2, #3, #4 & #5) were present even in the Acrobat version prior to Sep 14 update. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by these issues.

   Issue #1 and #6 were the regressions introduced with Sept 14th update and hence were fixed on priority with Sept 29th Update (Release Notes for September 29, 2021). With the latest version (22.001.20085) of Acrobat Pro DC released on March 7th (Release Notes for March 07, 2022), issues #2 and #3 have also been fixed. Issues #4 and #5 have been partially fixed so that PathPathPath tags won’t be part of the tag tree anymore. The remaining issue for #4 and # 5 (Borders and background shadings on Text Boxes / paragraphs are being tagged as <Figure>s) have already been added to our product backlog and those will be prioritized to be fixed in coming releases.

   You can use the menu item Help → Check for Updates… to get the latest version of Acrobat Pro DC containing these fixes. Please try out the fixes and share the feedback as that will help us make our applications better from accessibility perspective.

   Thanks & Regards

   UPDATE: H2 and TOC image issue resolved. All other issues remain.

   In addition to the issues already mentioned, level 2 headings and their associated TOC items on larger documents exported from Word are incorrectly tagged as images. I cannot attach a sample as the documents I work on a proprietary.

   All of these are MAJOR issues as making these documents accessible is required by law. I have installed the most recent update and still have all of the issues mentioned here.
