I can send you the file. It will probably look fine to you, but on my system half the page is missing. The content is not there in the contents panel either. I've had other people open it and they see it just fine. Outside of going through my friends preferences one by one to compare our systems, I'm left in inexplicable why mode. I didn't create the PPT. And I can't get the original. When I export the PDF of it back to PPT to see if I can reproduce a good PDF, I get the same problem...content missing in the PDF. Perhaps you can help me. Thanks.

I found the problem through hit and miss unchecking things int he Preferences.
In Acrobat PREFERENCES, CATEGORIES, ACCESSIBILITY: (X) Replace Colors Options was checkmarked. It included "Replace Document Colors," and some other ticks. I don't know why or how I ever made that choice.
To Fix it, all I did was uncheck Replace colors Options. Viola! I can now see content in several files that previously I could not.

Hi Stargazers
We are sorry for the trouble. As described the content is missing from the PDF after creation
Would you mind sharing the version of the Adobe Acrobat DC installed? To check the version of the application please use the help article https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/identify-product-version.html
Make sure you have the latest version 19.21.20061 installed. Go to Help > Check for Updates
What is the workflow or steps you are doing to create the PDF? there are multiple ways of creating a PDF from MS Office, try creating the PDF as described in the help article (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/how-to/create-pdf-files-word-excel-website.html) and check for the issue.
Also, is this a behavior with a particular file or with all the files that you try to create a PDF from? Try creating the PDF using a different PPT file and check. If its a file specific issue please share the PPT and the PDF files with us for testing. Please upload the files to the document cloud (https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/home/) generate the link and share the link with us.

Hi Amal,
I'm having a similar issue with Acrobat Pro version 2024.002.20759
Exporting MS Office - Word/PowerPoint docs to Acrobat results in missing content - headings, images, etc in Tags View. In Content View, the missing items seem to be artifacted, which was not my intent.

Hi @carlos_2122,
Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble, and the delayed response.
If you are still looking for a solution, ensure the settings in Word or PowerPoint for creating tagged PDFs are correctly configured:
In Word or PowerPoint:
-
- Go to File > Options > Save.
- Ensure "Preserve fidelity when sharing this document" is checked.
When exporting to PDF:
- Use File > Save As > PDF or the Adobe PDF tab and click Create PDF.
- Ensure "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with Tagged Adobe PDF" is checked.
If this doesn't work, ensure headings, images, and other critical elements are appropriately structured in the source document:
- Use built-in styles (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2) for headings.
- Add alt text to images:
- Right-click the image > Format Picture > Alt Text.
- Avoid using text boxes or WordArt for content, as these can lead to artifacting.
If the only option is to fix the issues after export, you can verify and adjust the Tags structure:
- Open the PDF in Acrobat and switch to Tags View (View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags).
- Look for missing elements or tags marked as artifacts (indicated by a gear icon).
- Right-click on the affected elements and select Properties to review or adjust their role (e.g., change from Artifact to Figure or Heading).
Hope this helps.
