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! ... View more

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? ... View more

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. ... View more

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?  ... View more

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. ... View more

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. ... View more

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. ... View more
