Please add keyboard shortcuts to reorder items in the tag panel.

Currently, a user must drag and drop tags in the Tags panel to change the reading order. It is easy to drag and drop items in the wrong place.

To recreate this problem:
1.) Open a tagged PDF
2.) Open Accessibility Tools
3.) Open Tags Panel
4.) Attempt to re-order items

It would be extremely useful to be able to do the following
With a tag selected, I want the ability to do the following with the keyboard:

-Move the tag up
-Move the tag down
-Move the tag in/under another tag (For example, placing a list item under a list)
-Move the tag out from another tag (For example, nested paragraph tags)

Hi Team

To whomever may be competent to solve the problem....

There are several incomprehensible bugs with accessibility in Acrobat.

1. We can't create multiple tags in Tags pannel. Please create option for creating multiple tags just like when we create forms there is an option for do you want to create multiple forms. Screenshot pdf attached for your reference.
2. We cannot delete Tag ID under Object properties at once. Some time its client requirement that they dont want ID, IDs come when we autotag the document.
3. While working on a big files and creating tags, tags wont come in sequence, they go under some other tags. They should come just under last or atleast on the root.

Hello,

To whomever may be competent to solve the problem....

There are several incomprehensible bugs with accessibility in Acrobat. Many tags are not correctly created, even if the link has been created directly from acrobat.

Links give problems of "tagged annotations - incorrect", recursively.

Problems with the establishment of the reading order, when the programme wants to, it does not tag correctly, those declared as artefacts do not disappear from the reading order, you try to remove a reading order from the structure and it does not do it, you try to mark it as another type of element and it does not do it either.......

In tables, sometimes the table summary or edit options do not appear (which incomprehensibly have to be made to appear with a contextual menu that only appears if the reading order box is open).
When you try to modify the cells to mark merged cells, always at the beginning of the table, the table rows are affected and it does not do it correctly.

The reading order cannot be undone and if there is something that the program does incorrectly and you have not saved it, you have to start again.

And a long etc.

I cannot understand how the creators of great platforms such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and others, could have created a programme as bad as Adobe Acrobat and that in addition in the accessibility options it still works as badly as its previous versions.

See you!!

Problem Description: While remediating document for accessibility in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Visual Tags that are assigned can sometimes be stacked or overlayered (<P>, <H1>, <TOC>, etc.) on top of the tagged text. This makes it difficult to ISOLATE AND KNOW the layered tag that you would like to right-click on the output display.

Steps to Reproduce: //Open a Table of Contents in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC/ Open Accessibility Checker and check document/ Click on Tags Icon in Accessibility Menu/ Click on Reading Order/ go to body of document/ Identify tags that look like they are overlayered on top of each other/ Left click tag and wait until it turns blue/ Right click cluster of Tags where top tag on output display is blue/

Actual Result: Output Display shows condensed right-click menu for unknown tag (Up to 10+ right clicks) or shows expanded menu for unknown tag.

Expected Result: Output Display shows expanded right-click menu for specific tag.

Any Workarounds: (Just an idea and is Unimplemented and Untested) When Output display shows tags that are overlayered on text as well as other tags, the first right-click will let you choose which element of the overlayered cluster of tags to apply the right-click to.

When performing Acrobat remediation on Indesign publications containing correct export tagging, the Acrobat Reading Order tool shows "P" tags at the end of each line of text (as well as additional "P" tags in the middle of lines). The Acrobat Tags panel shows no paragraph tags -- just broken up lines of text.

Fortunately, these broken up lines are not reproduced as such by the screen reader. So why does Acrobat identify each line of text with a "P" in the first place?

This issue needs to be fixed as it creates a dilemma and lot of unnecessary remediation work for those who are unaware that screen readers are able to bypass broken up lines and read the full paragraph.

Microsoft Word 365 has an immersive reader where the text is read out loud while panning and highlighting the text being read with options such as WPM adjustment. Trying to use the Read Out Loud function in Adobe Acrobat Reader is painful. It is hard to find, the synthetic voice is unpleasant and disruptive, and overall the accessibility for this feature seems to be the bare minimum. PDF's are the format of choice for scientific papers, which are rather dry reading material. An option to listen, following along while reading would greatly increase the efficacy of this program. I've personally been converting the PDFs to a Word Document and then using the immersive reader, but this workaround is imperfect as the conversion does not always result in a legible document, and alienates users from the native Adobe program. This program is in desperate need of updates to expand document accessibility to persons that may have impaired vision, ADHD, Dyslexia, etc.

Not only is the DC interface confusing and more time-consuming to use than the old one, but it does not comply with Section 508 of the Americans With Disability Act, which requires that the federal government, in its software procurement process, consider accessibility. Adobe Acrobat does not take into account the needs of users who rely on voice recognition software to accomplish actions that fully abled users accomplish with the mouse. When using voice recognition software, it is quick and easy to dictate a shortcut key or sequence of shortcut keys, but extremely slow, cumbersome and error-prone to get the software to click on a particular location. In the older version of Adobe Acrobat, most of what I did could be accomplished by dictating shortcut keys. In the new version, very few commands can be accomplished with keyboard shortcuts (or even with a series of them, as in Microsoft applications). As a result, I do almost nothing in Acrobat with my voice recognition software. Using the current version exacerbates the repetitive stress injury that I rely on voice recognition software to minimize. For one of many resources explaining that the availability of shortcut keys is an element of Section 508 compliance, see: https://www.justice.gov/crt/software-accessibility-checklist.

Within Adobe Acrobat there are options to Create a Portfolio of documents or to use the Attachment feature to create a group of documents. While keyboard shortcuts allow you to browse some of the menus, get to the document list, and select a document from the list. However, there is not a keyboard short cut to read the document in the view or to access the Open Document link. It seems to be only available through mouse selection.

This places users of these features at risk because the end user can't access the document to read it using only keyboard selections. Since these features lack keyboard accessibility, the product is not fully accessible.

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!
