How to artifact a table header row when it is a continuation from a previous page [Edited]

Explorer ,
Dec 29, 2021 Dec 29, 2021

I'm making an accessible pdf. There is an instance where I have a table that continues across two pages so the column headers repeat at the top of each page. For a screen reader this should only read as a single header row. 
How can I make the header row on the second page be artifacted or made invisible to a screen reader?

When you post a question you always need to tell the program you are using
There are MANY programs in a full subscription, plus other non-subscription programs
Please post the exact name of the Adobe program you use so a Moderator may move this message to that forum

Sorry, It's been a while. Adobe Acrobat Pro updated to the newest version on CC.

I wish I could delete my post and start again. The title of my post should say Artifact instead of Archive and I'm using Pro DC.

Was the repeating header generated automatically in the original program--or was it a body row made to look like a header? 

Check your Tags navigation pane.

It is a legit header created in inDesign, generated automatically when my table continued to page two.

My tags look like I have a header row in the middle of my table. ( and it's identical to the header row at the begining of my table) I only need the headers on page two for visual users.

Thanks, Bevi responded to my follow up reply. It worked perfectly. I just didn't want to write the answer on here and take credit. Thank you for the help.

Confirming that the repeated headers on subsequent pages of tagged PDFs is a coding error created by Adobe InDesign. It needs to get fixed!
