Create 508 compliant PDF documents frequently that need to be passed. These documents more than not have several lengthy tables. These documents also come from different people using different software and versions. And more than not these tables need to be rebuilt. Would love to have the option to create tables in the Tags sidebar from scratch where you can at the same time specify how many TR, TH, and TD and in a certain order. Right now I can only add them one at a time. Also, if there is a way to remove the hard setup of tables. Sometimes there is only one error where a TD is split into two when it should only be one. When I combined the cells, I then get a Regularity error even though the table is setup perfectly like a grid. In this case, I have to completely rebuild the table from scratch to remove the error. Hope in the next few updates, Adobe can add some more of these options for Accessibility tables.
Thank you.

Please change the way Adobe Acrobat does the reading order so that the tags in the tags pane will automatically correspond to the order in the Touch- up reading order pane.
Also please make it easier to tag links - when I try to tag links it doesn't work right. Please consider creating a version of Adobe Acrobat that makes it easy to comply with Section 508 as described at Section508.gov. Dealing with the tags pane is a nightmare and also the unmarked annotations issue and other issues are a nightmare and don't fix easily. Please make this easier to use so the people will be more cooperative about complying with Section 508. Thanks.

We received this document from a vendor and it wasn't tagged for accessibility. I went through page by page, adding figure alternative text, table summaries, and tagged H1 through H3 headings. Then using Adobe's book mark tool I auto-generated the bookmarks based on the H1-3 heading tags.

I sent this document to our 508C consultant who is blind. He used NVDA and JAWS to read the document. He found all of the alt text for figures but could not see the H1-3 tags nor could he see any of the tables or table summaries.

I double checked the document using the Reading Order panel. Everything is there.

What is going on? We are very concerned. Since we are a government entity we are required by law to make our public documents accessible.

Please advise. I have had issues with manually tagging with Adobe Pro DC. Now I am using Adobe Pro 2017 Version 2017.011.30138

Why doesn't Adobe set the default initial view magnification setting to "fit page" so a viewer can see an entire document upon initial view? As a seasoned graphic designer, I believe it is much more courteous to allow the viewer to orient themselves to an entire document and then allow then to zoom in for more detail. It is disconcerting to see a partial document when opening a PDF file. Adobe is a leader in accessibility standards and I wondered if you had insight into this topic, I don't see a recommended initial view magnification in the WCAG 2.0 AA standard but I have found references that state that the "page fit" works better for some screen readers when they read a PDF. I'm seeking a "best practice" guideline. Please respond at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

I use Word 365 of a main docment to generate a PDF, and remediate in Acrobat DC. I have to add in pages in the fron an back of the document that comprises the front and back covers (also from Word). (The cover PDFs also pass accessibility check).

However, when I drag one page into the Main document PDF and run the accessiblity checker, all the hyperlinks that tested OK in the main document now generate a 'tagged annotations' error.

Normally, remediating such errors is easy: you show in the content panel, find the unmarked links/annotations and tag them appropriately.

However, Acrobat finds no unmarked links or annotations, so these files cannot be remediated.

I am using Keyboard only to access the Tags Panel.

Switching between the Advanced Search menu, and the main document Window, using F6 to move Focus to the Tags panel and Find Tag from Selection work great. I perform subsequent actions and my first search/action is done.

Then I Alt tab back to the Advanced Search panel, move up to the next item, Alt tab back to the main document Window, F6 to the Tags Panel, the item I searched for is selected, but the previous Tag (from search # 1) still has dotted lines around it and it has focus.

My highlighted Search and Found from selection term is selected but when I use the Up arrow on my 2nd, 3rd, 4th searches, it does not go to the item above my selection, it goes to the item above the previous tag from Search 1 (the one with the dotted lines around it).

I want to release this focus and put focus on the item I searched for and apparently this is not possible. Have tried Escape, Space Bar, Shift F4, all to no avail. When I search for an item and Find Tag from Selection I think focus should go to that item FULLY, so that when I arrow up it goes to the next content item or tag above that searched for item. This does not happen.
