Images and scanned pages

Images are missing position information

Some images don't record where they sit on the page. Tools use this to re-flow the page when it is zoomed in or read on a small screen.

Who it affects

People who zoom in a lot, or read on phones and tablets.

Why it matters

Images may be lost or placed oddly when the page is re-flowed.

How to fix it

  1. Re-create the PDF from the original file with accessibility turned on.
  2. In Adobe Acrobat Pro: re-tag the images with the Reading Order tool.
