Disabling table Headers in accessibility check

Community Beginner ,
Aug 16, 2023 Aug 16, 2023

I am using AcrobatPro 2003.003.2024 on a MacBook Pro M1 to accessibility check a pdf which has tables without headers (for layout/formatting reasons) and I should like to disable this check. According to <https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/kb/table-header-fails-in-accessibility-checker.html> there should be a plist file com.adobe.Acrobat.FeatureState.plist in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/DC/Preferences/. The only plist at that location on my machine is incrPatch.plist. Where can I get the FeatureState.plist from?

Hi,

Is this how you accessed the Library?

You can find the user Library folder using the ~/Library directory in Finder. Open Finder → press Cmd+Shift+G → type in ~/Library and click Go.

I have one Library folder in HD>Username>Library and another in HD>Library

You can also try to reset the preferences to force the creation of the file you need: How to reset Acrobat Preference settings to defaul... - Adobe Support Community - 4792082

Hi - yes that is where the Mac library folders are (there is also one in the /System folder). The Adobe article specifically refers to /Library (which makes sense as other users can have access) but in my case the FeatureState.plist is in neither.

I'm wondering why my MacBookPro doesn't have it. Does the function work or not with Apple Silicon (M1 chip)? Some reassurance on that front would be helpful before I try resetting the Adobe preferences.
