Chapter 12: Accessibility User Manual

Hides annotation
The rule checks whether there is any annotation in the document that is hidden by
alternate text. For an annotation that is nested under a parent element with alternate
text, screen readers don’t see it. To fix the issue, right-click the nested element in the
Tags panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro, choose Properties…, and remove the alternate text
from the Object Properties dialog box.
Other elements alternate text
The content except figures like multimedia, annotations, and 3D models, also requires
alternate text for accessibility. And make sure alternate text is always associated with
the corresponding content on the page. See also Associated with content.
Tables
For the table structure, which can be complex, Foxit PDF Editor recommends that
users check them for accessibility manually.
Rows
If the check fails, open the Tags panel, and make sure that each Table Row in a table
is a child of Table, THead, TBody, or TFoot in Foxit PDF Editor Pro.
TH and TD
For accessibility, Table Header <TH> and Table Data <TD> are children of Table Row
<TR>. If the check fails, verify it in the Tags panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro.
Headers
For accessibility, all tables must have a header. If the check fails, verify it in the Tags
panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro.
Regularity
Tables must contain the same number of columns in each row, and rows in each
column. If the check fails, verify it in the Tags panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro.
Summary
A table summary is not a must, but it can make the document more accessible. The
document author can add or edit the table summary with Foxit PDF Editor Pro.
