Question

Accesibility tags choosing letters instead of words

While trying to add an accessibility tag, when I click on "Create tag from selection", many times it pulls over each letter as a new tag instead of the word and/or the highlighted sentence.  This is happening on all PDFs, not just certain ones.  Please help with what I am doing wrong.  See image for reference.

Hi defaultv5j9qahqdf28,

 

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble caused.

 

As you add tags to the PDF, please follow the steps outlined in the following help document: https://adobe.ly/4rbTI0p

If your problem persists, please share a video showing the steps you took and what happened. It will help us understand the issue. Also, share the Acrobat and OS version numbers currently in use.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I am not able to send a video.  Here are the steps.  The cursor is choosing individual letters, so I'm assuming that is why the tag isn't working.
