Join Chad Chelius for an in-depth discussion in this video Artifacting table elements, part of Advanced Accessible PDFs.
- So I've opened up a PDF document here,…and I want to show you one of the issues…that we have to contend with when tables…are exported from Microsoft Word.…So I have JAWS enabled,…and I'm going to read the contents of this table.…- Graphic MC-RF HMO, row two.…Graphic MC-RF Health Insurance, row one.…End of row.…Graphic MC-RF Health Insurance.…- So, do you notice how it's saying some information…before it's actually reading the text?…And this is one of the things that…I wanted to address here,…and show you how we can remediate that issue.…
So what I'm going to do is…go to the Content pane.…And I'm going to use my selection tool,…and I'm going to select some of the text…here at the top of this table.…And I'm going to go ahead and go to Page 12 here.…Open that up.…And I'm going to, with that selected,…choose Find Content from Selection.…And the Content pane really kind of shows us…our information in a interesting way here.…But I'm going to close this text element,…and I want you to take a look…here at what happened.…
