Sure, either don't put the content in the header area or tag it manually after the PDF is created. Then you can attach the link to the actual content.

Hi Kat,
So your problem is that because you put content in the header with a link applied, you are now getting a "Tagged Annotation Failed" error. This is because the content in the header is automatically artifacted and now the link has nothing to attach itself to. The easiest fix here is: In Adobe Acrobat, click on the Edit PDF tool. Then at the top, choose Link > Add/Edit Web or Document Link. In that mode, click on the hyperlink rectangle that is in the header area in quesiton, and simply delete it. This will resolve your error.

Yep I know it's confusing and frustrating but remember I didn't create this process 😉 And yes, if you want to maximize access to your document to ensure that all users can consume the content, you should set the tag order and the reading order.

If all of your content is threaded, then sure your tag order will be defined naturally based on the flow of the text. But if you are not threading all of your text, the only way to implicitly define the tag order is using the Articles panel.

This has been discussed numerous times including on our Chax Chat podcast at chaxchat.com. A PDF file has two orders to contend with, tag order and reading order. JAWS and NVDA uses tag order other assistive technologies use reading order. That's why we need to set both.

I recreated your table and I see what you're talking about. To be honest I think you're dealing with a combination of the complexity of the table and a failure with NVDA. If you start in the top left corner of the table and navigate down to "Executive Senior Level Officials and Managers" and then move across, you get to the "11" cell you were trying to get to earlier and it does read it appropriately. Another failure of NVDA is when you have empty table cells, NVDA can get lost and mis-announce the wrong heading to the wrong cell. It didn't do that in my table that I've attached I think because I used Header/Cell ID associations instead of simply scope for the header cells. It provides a more robust experience I think.
I am experiencing much of what you're describing though, and it seems that the cells to which another cell spans is ignored by NVDA and doesn't recognize that there is a cell there. You have to navigate further down on the left side of the table in order to be able to read all of the cells. It's possible, just not in the way that we're thinking.
To be honest, this is definitely a complex table. As you can see in my attached document, it works, just not perfectly. If possible, my suggesion would be to try to simplify this table or break it into multiple tables. You're trying to convey a lot of information in one table and I think you're just running into inherent failures.
I hope that helps!

It is always an issue reading a PDF opened in a web browser. This is a known issue and we always recommend that users open the file in Acrobat not within the browser.

Hyperlinks should not export as <Sect> tags. I've not seen this before. The only way I can think that you'd get that would be is if you are anchoring frames to the text of another frame. Can you share the file?

For more detailed instructions, I'd like to recommend my LinkedIn Learning course Creating Accessible PDFs and Advanced Accessible PDFs. Your starting list is pretty good but as Frans pointed out is missing a few items. Tables are an important factor as well as Tag order and Reading Order which are two separate items. From a resources perspective, I can recommend the following:
Chax Training and Consulting
PDF Accessibility Facebook Group

Sure! You are spot on in your assumption that the Paragraph Styles panel is the key method of mapping to the appropriate tags in the exported PDF file. You can completely ignore the Tags panel and Structure pane in Adobe InDesign. To be fair, this was the method we used about 10 years ago before InDesign CS 5.5 added PDF accessibility features that were more robust. My recommendation is to totally ignore that panel unless your trying to import/export XML data in and out of InDesign.

I feel like people are asking the same question hoping to get a different answer. The reality is that alt text is not included when searching content within Adobe Acrobat. Period. I'm struggling to understand why you'd want to hide content in alt text, why not just include it in the body copy of the document if it's so important?

Honestly it sounds like somewhere in your document you have overset text that you're not seeing but it contains styles that the TOC is recognizing and is generating TOC entries for your content. Look in your preflight panel to see if you have any overset text errors. It will show you where the overset text is so you can remove it. This often happens when you're copying and pasting content and you forget that you pasted conent that you're not visually seeing.

Your original post said you couldn't open the form. Now you apparently have filled out the form. Did you do it in Acrobat? If so, the form is already downloaded. Just choose "save as" and save it where you want the file located.

You need to understand that screen readers allow users to navigate a document using keyboard commands. These commnds often supercede shortcuts in the native application. When using NVDA, you can use Ctrl + End or Ctrl + Home to move to the top or bottom of the next page.

Oh yeah, you can totally do that. To accomplish that you would use cross-references not captions. Window > Type and Tables > Cross References.

If you go to Object > Captions > Caption Setup, you can enter text that you want to appear before the caption. Although this won't work if your caption style is a numbered list. You'll probably need to pull the number from a metadata filed in the image.

I haven't found a good solution other than "try again". Typically I encounter this error when I combine several files into one. The MCID is burried as an attribute of a tag that is painfully time consuming to find. I can't tell you what actually causes it. But usually if I combine them again, I can get a good file without the error. I recommend using the Organize Pages tool to combine files. I've had the best luck with that method.

Yeah the article is misleading. The term Reading Order is often used interchangeably to refer to the tag order. I don't like this because in Acrobat there actually is a Read Order that is different from the Tag order. The truth is that the Articles panel controls the Tag order in the exported PDF and doesn't affect the Read Order in the exported PDF. I hope that helps.

Mike's right. In InDesign itself, you can only ever scroll vertically from page to page. The Pages panel however, does let you restructure how the pages are displayed to show them horizontally.

They stopped installing them with the application but they are available on Adobe Fonts. Just go to fonts.adobe.com and activate them on your computer.

Do you see an overset text indicator when this happens? It sounds like no. I'm thinking it has something to do with your graphics card and it's ability to refresh your screen. Does this only happen on your computer? On another computer does it work as expected?

You'll also get that if you have a table with a header row that flows to a second frame. The header in the reapeating frame is locked and not editable.
