Artefact

Bonjour,

Je dois baliser de nombreux dessins décoratifs en tant qu’artefacts dans Adobe Acrobat, mais je rencontre des difficultés : la plupart du temps, l’opération ne fonctionne pas. Par exemple, lorsque je sélectionne un élément dans l’ordre de lecture, puis que je clique sur le bouton "Artefact", rien ne se passe.

Auriez-vous une solution à me proposer ou une procédure à suivre dans ce cas ?
Est-il possible d’effectuer cette opération directement depuis InDesign ? Même si je préférerais le faire dans Adobe Acrobat, cela me serait plus simple.

Merci d’avance pour votre aide,

Bien à vous,

Eva HOUEL

@nivy_4088 The ability to define or edit content as an "Artifact" is primarily a feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro (or Standard), and is generally not available in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Adobe Reader will allow you to view documents where elements have already been tagged as artifacts, and it will respect those tags in how it presents the document for assistive technologies. However, it doesn't provide the tools to create or modify those artifact tags yourself.

Hello @nivy_4088!

 

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. 

 

++ To add to what our community product expert has shared, here is the Adobe article on Creating and verifying PDF accessibility (Acrobat Pro). Please refer to this article to know more. Note, the feature is available in Acrobat version, not with the freeware Acrobat Reader desktop. In Reader, you can view tags or the reading order pane, but you cannot change tags or designate artifacts. 

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
