Check and correct table tags
Tables can be a challenge for screen reader or other assistive technology since they
may contain complex lists, form fields or paragraphs. You can use the Reading Order
command to check if a table has been properly recognized and to correct recognition
problems. Also, the Table Editor tool can help you edit table cell properties to make it
more accessible.
Select Reading Order in the Accessibility tab, make sure that you have checked the
Show tables and figures option, and do the following:
• If a table isn’t tagged as a table, drag to select the content and choose Table in the
Touch Up Reading Order dialog box.
• Make sure that the Show table cells option is checked so that all cells in the table
are defined as individual elements. Click Table Editor in the Touch Up Reading
Order dialog box, or right-click the table on the document pane and select Table
Editor. Alternatively, if you have opened the Tags panel, you can also access the
Table Editor tool by right-clicking a table tag and choosing Table Editor from the
context menu. All the table cells will be highlighted in the color set in the Table
Editor Options.
• If you want to change the highlight color and display option for table cells, right-
click the table cell on the document pane and choose Table Editor Options.
• (Optional) Right-click the table cell on the document pane and choose Auto
Generate Header Cell IDs to generate cell IDs for all the header cells
automatically. If you haven’t generated header cell IDs automatically, when you try
to associate any header ID to any cell, Foxit PDF Editor will prompt you to generate
IDs for header cells if any header cells don’t have an ID.
• Right-click the table cell on the document pane and choose Table Cell Properties
to edit the type and attributes of the table cells. You can use Shift-Click to select
multiple cells and bulk edit the table cell properties.
