Hi,

 

Sorry for the delay in response. I found a few similar issues while using JAWS when I googled this issue  have you checked with Jaws support team?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Can you please share more details like the version of InDesign & OS along with a screenshot of the export settings? Is this happening with a specific file or multiple files?

 

Thanks

I'm using InDesign 17.4, it happens when create tagged pdf option is selected when exporting to pdf. This issue occurs in all files while reading in JAWS.
