Great video! I was able to use your guide to make sure Adobe's built-in Read Out Loud feature was correctly sequencing through my content.

Thank you so much for making these free videos <3 I'm trying to develop a workflow/process for creating accessible versions of the digital reading materials and scanned documents I need for college. I rely on screen readers and this is so helpful, thank you. I'm also trying to communicate with my professors and explain how they can adjust their own materials to make school more accessible for future students.

Great video - I have the on-going issue with Acrobat rearranging the order of images when moving them UP the reading order, then end up behind other elements like background artifacts, or background color blocks... any suggestions?

Super helpful as a conceptual video. I feel like the content panel is so frustrating when you try to remediate a pdf. It's a cascade of issues to edit after you already worked hard to get the tags right.

Hello, im trying to fillow your video as i try to retrofit a form that i previously created and i notice thst you dont show what is needed to move the item in the content panel. Ive tried dragging it to the new position but that hasnt worked, so i keep watching to see what you did.🤦🏾‍♀️
