Could you please share following details and we’ll investigate this issue:

  • Which API (e.g. GroupDocs.Conversion, GroupDocs.Viewer) and it’s version (e.g. 24.10) you are using?
  • Sample code
  • Development environment details (e.g. Java or .NET version, OS)

Please share the conversion code as well.

Could you please tell which screen reader you are using? Link in the footer is readable for both files when opened in respective native applications image.png (18.7 KB).
Also, please specify if you are trying to convert a Word document to PDF or vice versa.
