What does it mean?

Some figures tags in your document are not used formally correctly. In most cases it is due to the placement attribut. Innately the Figure tag is an inline level element. If it is used as a block level element, the attribute "Placement: Block" is required. Otherwise some assistive technologies are not able to present it correctly.

How to fix it?

Use the tool Fix Placement in axesPDF.
