[NFBCS] PDF in Adobe BC not displaying with accessibility

[sanchit]

‎

Hi

I've also encountered similar problem on latest Adobe Acrobat DC when I 
open PDF File using my screenreader it says
<filename>.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (32-bit)
unknown
Content Preparation Progress dialog Please wait while the document is 
being prepared for reading.
Processing page 7 of 25… progress bar 28% 28 percent
40 percent
52 percent
64 percent
76 percent
88 percent
100 percent
unknown
<filename>.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (32-bit)
unknown
unknown
unknown

And it is not reading outloud from PDF file what I only know is the PDF 
contains mathematical theorems proofs equations formulas diagrams charts 
tables graphs and mathematical content etc etc I tried Virtual cursor as 
well as scanning through OCR software also and same results not sure why 
Adobe Acrobat DC is not able to process the PDF documents though my 
sighted assistance told me that PDF is very pretty looking with fonts 
stylings and beautiful diagrams

Any help ill be highly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Sanchit

Sometimes, if a document appears to have loaded but is plank, I have also had success by turning the JAWS Virtual cursor off and then on using INSERT and Z.
