I'm new to creating accessible documents, is there a best practice for naming Articles for creating tab order?
Let's clear up a misconception stated in this thread:
A PDF's TAB order (that is, pressing the TAB key or some other key to advance from element to element) is only used to navigate from an interactive element to another. Two primary cases:
Therefore, the TAB order has nothing to do with the <Art>/Article tags the panel creates in the PDF by the Articles Panel. N O T H I N G.
A second misconceptio

I'm not an accessiblity expert - but I've generated some content for accessiblity in the past.
In my experience, creating an efficient tab order with clear and descriptive Article names was important for users who rely on keyboard navigation or assistive tech.
I used clear and descriptive names, maintained a sequential orders, avoided repetition, aligned tab order with reading order, and a few other things.
Again, not an expert, just my 2 cents.

A second misconception is the use of the <Art>/Articles tag:
No assistive technology we've tested recognizes and uses that tag, at this time. Would love for assistive technologies to start putting it to good use for their customers/users, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Recommendation:
The Articles Panel is a tool that can help control the tag reading order in the exported PDF, not the TAB order. If you do decide to use that panel...
Hope this helps!

Certainly an eye-opener to what goes on - very interesting to me.
Very hard to find information on this problem too.
Maybe a gap that can be filled.
