Remove page elements from the tag structure
Some page elements that don’t contain useful or illustrative information and shouldn’t
be read, like decorative lines, artifacts, or background elements, can make the
structure layout untidy and cause some chaos when they are reflowed or read by
screen readers. You can remove these page elements from the tagging structure by
changing them to the Background tags.
1. Select Reading Order in the Accessibility tab.
2. Select the page element in document pane, and choose Background in the Touch
Up Reading Order dialog box to tag the selected page element as Background.
Check and correct figure tags
Figures tags should identify image content that is meaningful to the document.
Sometimes background elements that are not necessary to be read are incorrectly
tagged as figures, and you need to redefine them as background. You can use the
Reading Order command to check and correct tagging problems for figures.
