<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Arranging the content in InDesign using the Articles panel creates the PDF with the correct tag order, but the reading order and content order (essential for reading technologies like text-to-speech,
Read Aloud in Edge, for example), are completely out of order in Acrobat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">With how InDesign exports every line as a separate content box (as opposed to grouping all lines of a paragraph together in one content box, for example), that creates a ton of containers in the
Content panel in Acrobat, so having to adjust the order in the Content panel in Acrobat will be no easy feat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
