Tables have a specific structure in tagged PDF files. If you’re familiar with tables in HTML, this will be very familiar. Watch this video to learn how to tag tables from scratch.
- [Instructor] One of the more challenging things…that you will have to do when remediating a PDF document…is tagging the tables inside of that document.…So, what I'd like to do is show you how we tag a table…from scratch and then talk about some of the requirements…of tables and how they need to be structured.…So, I'm going to navigate to page 19 of this file…and I'm going to go ahead and zoom in on this table…up here at the top.…A couple of things with tables you have to keep in mind.…
First of which is that every table has to have a header…associated with it.…Whenever you have a table that has no headers,…you're going to get an error.…So, this table has a very obvious header,…which is this first row here and we're going to talk about that…a little bit later, but for now to tag this table…we need to tag the fundamental element of the table,…which is a cell.…Just to kind of give you a background on tables,…rows run horizontally, columns run vertically.…
But when you're tagging a table, we basically…establish the columns based on the number of cells…
