I'm creating an Accessible PDF (using Adobe InDesign) that is going to be mostly tables and I'm having issues getting the AT (I'm using VoiceOver on Mac) to read the table column headers as you are reading the row cells below each column header. (Ie. Column Header is labeled 'COLOR', and the cell below is labeled 'RED'. It should say "COLOR, RED" as you tab through the row) However, I cannot get VoiceOver to read the Tables correctly. It just reads "RED, Column 1, Row 2", not "COLOR, RED". As a test, I created a simple table using InDesign. My table is set to have one 'Header Row' in InDesign. I exported the PDF from InDesign and in export setting I included all the document tags. In Acrobat, I opened the PDF and in the 'tags' preference panel and I updated the table headers to be 'table header cells' and changed the scope to be 'Column'. I was able to find a few tutorials and all said this was the step you needed to do in Acrobat to make the tables accessible, so I'm confused! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm missing or doing incorrectly? See attached screenshot of the table/tag setup I currently have in Acrobat. Thanks!
