Hmmm.  I checked your pdf, and found another interesting thing:  the
hyperlinks are never split.

These findings make me suspect that you use the "traditional" route to
create your PDF: latex to get DVI, then some DVI to PDF conversion.
Is this correct?  If so, there is no surprise you get inaccessible
PDFs and have troubles with jpg files: DVI is an old format, and does
not know much about accessibility or jpg (and does not easily split
hyperlinks either).

What is your toolchain?  Can you try the direct one:  the command

pdflatex FILE

makes PDF directly.  It should produce more accessible PDFs and deal
with jpg.

Also, could you share the sources of your paper and the logs?

Thanks!

Good luck
