1. Scope and associated header cells in tables should show when you hover over a cell

   It would be amazing if you didn't have to go all the way inside Cell Properties to check and see what a header cell's scope is set as, and what header cells are associated with any given cell in a table. If, once you were already inside Table Editor, that information would be available when you hover over any given cell (could be a feature that can be turned on or off), it would save so much time and effort in a very tedious job.

   When a table is really large or complicated, it can be easy to lose your place when assigning associated headers and scope, and it would be a huge timesaver/help to have this info available on a hover-over.

   Thanks for listening!

2. Fix the FIX tool for Artifacting

   When you have elements with no alt-text you get accessibility errors when running the checker. However, if you right click on the error and choose "fix" and walk through the items and mark them as decorative, instead of actually making them an artifact it simply changes the tag to "Artifact" which is not a valid tag and creates other errors. You then have to go in and properly designate the objects as Artifacts properly for the other errors to go away. VERY Frustrating. Come on Adobe Acrobat!

   This is a repeatable condition and needs to be fixed immediately please!

   Setting something as an artifact is a state and not a valid tag in the tags tree. Very frustrating that one tool designed to fix an issue actually creates other issues.

   Hi,
   Thank you for contacting us. I have raised the issue with the engineering team. We have kept it our radar and will be fixing it in the near future.

   Meanwhile I would suggest you to use Reading Order tool to mark the Figure as Artifact for fixing the issue.

   Please update to the latest version of Acrobat Pro DC to experience new features.

   Thanks

3. Invert colours on images embedded in pdf files.

   Invert colours on images embedded in pdf files.

   Hi

   I'm visually impaired. I find anything with a white background unreadable.

   I can change text and text background colours to make text readable but I cannot find a method to change colours used in images embedded in pdf files.

   Please can you add an accessibility option to invert colours in embedded images so black becomes white and white becomes black. NB. All colours will need to be inverted not just black and white.

4. Bug - PDF Tag Panel does not match Reading Order Tool by marking all Tags as Span

   This issue of InDesign and Acrobat incompatibility in regards to Acrobat displaying all spans even when the Reading Order is correct has been around for over two years. We deserve to know what Adobe is doing about it.

   Acrobat Team acknowledges the problem and blames InDesign:

   "It's actually not an Acrobat issue, it's an issue with InDesign and how it's generating the Content that Acrobat is displaying correctly"

   https://forums.adobe.com/message/10005333#10005333

   InDesign Team acknowledges the problem and blames Acrobat:

   "You'd have to talk to the Acrobat team about why they display in the Tags panel the way they do." - Adobe
   https://forums.adobe.com/message/10225230#10225230

   OR

   "Our investigation suggests that the issue lies in the latest update of Acrobat and there is little that can be done at our end to resolve the issue.
   The problem has been communicated to the relevant team.
   In the meanwhile we are closing this thread for InDesign."

   https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/33755254-accessible-pdf-exported-from-id-contains-spans-in

   And closes the issue.

   What is Adobe doing to fix this issue? And don’t tell us that it is not a real problem for screen readers because the Tags panel is ok. When a certain government agency reviews files, they just use the Reading Order Tool when they make complaints against people who use your product. These are not the kind of people who will read all these posts of Adobe blaming each other and then saying it does not matter because some screen readers don't use the reading order. Adobe is basically saying that this feature is pointless. If it is pointless remove it or merge it fully with the Tags panel.

   Besides, there is a lot more assistive technology and applications than just JAWS and NVDA that depend on the reading order and reflow being correct.

   What is Adobe doing to fix this span issue?

   And don’t ask me for more info or more files. You have these posts with detailed explanations and you have already acknowledged the problem exists yourselves and acknowledged that you can reproduce it yourselves. And don’t tell us to go to Forums for help. Because they will send us back to UserVoice.

   Thank you.

5. Accessibility Requests!!!

   Feature Requests / Bug Reports for the Accessibility features in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

   Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (Version 2018.011.20063) on Windows 7 Professional.

   For the Tags panel:
   1. Option to create Lists <L> tags with a set number of List Items <LI> tags instead of one at a time. Time wasted creating one at time.
   2. Option to created tables <Tables> tags with a set number of Rows <TR> tags instead of one at a time. Time wasted creating one at time.
   3. Stop forcing all the Tags folders to all be opened when opening a PDF file! Not efficient if having to reopen a PDF with an extensive Tags structure. These folders need to remain as they were when last saved!

   For the Reading Order Popup menu:
   1. Button to create List Items <LI> and List Body <LBody> for selected text. Currently have to manually change the tag for example <P> to <LBody>. Action Wizard is hit and miss with Lists, so I create from scratch many times.
   2. Button to create Links <Link> for selected text and/or images with a popup box for enter the URL while simultaneously creating its Annotation in the Content panel and in the Tags panel. This would save time.
   3. The Background/Artifact button doesn't work as it should. Items still go to the Tags panel.

   For the Content panel:
   1. Within the Page contents, the option to delete Annotations by selecting it and/or with a right click. This would save time.

   For Adobe Acrobat Pro DC software updates:
   1. Need a way to save my current customized layout so that when the software is updated, it is not lost. Time consuming to recreate with every software update. (iOS and PC).

   Thank you,
   terri@fusiononline.com
