Accessibility issue path object not tagged error

[ganesh_2836]

Hi

I am working on latest DC Version. while validating the PDF in PAC checker it shows path object not tagged, This is becuase of shaded frame was not given Artifact tag, If i select that path in content panel and right click tag as artifact that issue will be solved, But my issues is I have more number of path object in PDF there is any option to give artifact for all the path object which was outside the container, I just attached a sample pdf for your reference.

In the attached PDF first 2 path was outside the content panel. But in my live file I have lot of path object outside the container, So please let me know there is any option to give artifact for all the Path object outside the container,

Thanks

Ganesh,R

@ganesh_2836 besides using JavaScript to fix it, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC doesn't offer a direct, automated "one-click" solution to specifically target and tag all path objects residing outside of content containers as artifacts in the PAC checker. However, you can leverage a combination of tools and potentially some scripting to expedite this. One approach involves using the "Find" tool within Acrobat's Accessibility Checker. You can search for "Path" objects and then review each instance in the Content panel. While this isn't fully automated, it allows you to systematically locate all path objects. You could then select multiple contiguous path objects in the Content panel (by holding down the Shift key) that you've determined are purely decorative and outside any meaningful content, right-click, and tag them as artifacts in a batch.

There is an option to run the  "Marks all element not contained in the tagging structure as artifact" in acrobat Preflight as separate to fix path object not tagged error.
