Accessibility (tagging) in Acrobat 9.3.3

I routinely tag single-page and 2-page documents for accessibility after converting them from Word 2007, and usually this is pretty straightforward. Today, I'm trying to tag a 115-page document (a fairly simple document, not a lot of graphics), and I've run into significant roadblocks.
I've had Acrobat automagically add tags during the conversion process, and as usual there are plenty of artifacts to weed out. Sometimes they're so numerous that the best option is to clear all tags on a page and draw them in from scratch. In most cases, I will at least highlight them tag-by-tag and make adjustments to the tagging order. I've come to accept this as the standard aggravation of accessibility tagging in Acrobat.
My immediate problem results from highlighting a tagged area (a level 1 Heading, for example) and changing its tagging order by dragging and dropping within the "Order" panel in the Navigation pane. As I've done this today, in several places, the text within these areas has simply disappeared! You can imagine what an annoyance this might be in a document this large, given the further complication that there is no "undo" option while tagging for accessibility in Acrobat. I've had to be very careful to save often, then to revert to the last saved version when the whole process comes crashing down -- which it has done consistently and often.
Has anyone seen this before? Better yet, has anyone resolved it?

I finally found out how to turn it off. It wasn't a Prefs thing after all but a button at the bottom of the Preflight window. I guess I must have clicked it by accident.
Not sure what value it has either since it never displays anything but a blank window with the message that there is nothing to view.
Problem solved.

    Vishnu,
    I'm working on Ludwig's testcase.
    Ludwig's testcase is based on read-only View Objects.
    Is it also the case in your application ?
    I was unable to reproduce with VOs based on EOs.
    With read-only VOs, you can avoid the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException by setting the "Key Attribute" property for the PK of the Master VO.
    See the ADF Developer's Guide, topic "7.9.3 What You May Need to Know About Enabling View Object Key Management for Read-Only View Objects"

    Hi lynnb,
    If you already have Acrobat  installed, there's no need to download it again. When you launch Acrobat, you should be given an option to "License this Software." Click that option, and then log in with your Adobe ID and password, and you should be all set!
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Unrecognized database format error when trying to access addin to Acrobat reader?

    I get an "Unrecognized database format" error when trying to access addin to Acrobat reader so I can use Pro to edit a pdf document?  What do I do so that teh ACCESS program aI am generating PDF's from uses Pro and not Reader?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Adobe Reader and Acrobat Professional are 2 different products. Reader is for free and limited as to what it can do an support.
    Add-ins can only use features supported by Reader.
    You need Acrobat to edit PDF forms. Acrobat no longer supports access to SQL databases through Acrobat JavaScript.
    If you have an add-in and Acrobat can use it for filling a PDF form from Access, you need to talk to the developer to see if it can work with Reader.

  • Accessibility (Tagged PDF) in Adobe Acrobat

    I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on "enabling tagging" in a PDF?
    Here is the situation:
    I have Word 2002 document
    Contains text and heading styles from Word
    PDFed (tagging enabled by default)
    Document Properties in Acrobat say: "Tagged PDF: Yes"
    My questions are:
    What capabilities does Tagging give me or the person I am sending the enabled PDF to?
    Does it allow them to add comments more easily and for me to import those comments from the enabled PDF to my Word document?
    From what I have read, it is mostly good for people with disabilities (deaf, blind, etc), and this allows Acrobat to be able to read the document to the person if necessary.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreicated.
    thanks in advance,
    dkelley_2

    we had a person say that we needed to start tagging our PDFs, so they could make comments.
    I still don't understand that. I assumed that if the PDF wasn't locked that a person could make comments.
    Also, with the tagging feature, do i have to add alternative text to every graphic?
    my word document is set English US, but once PDFed it doesn't recognize that. So i have to go into document properties and set that.
    i don't like the idea that i have to do all of this stuff in the PDF, because if i have to rePDF the document, then all my manual changes in the Acrobat is gone.
    We have tried the importing comments, it is not a good idea. it rarely puts the comments in the correct spot. it is just easier to go pg-by-pg and make the comments viewing the pdf and word doc at the same time.
    thanks for your help!

  • Accessibility Tags - What to do with Table of Contents & More

    I am looking for some help and advice regarding tagging a PDF document for accessibility using Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Until now, the most I've ever done with Acrobat is create the occasional straight-text document and a few simple forms.  But my boss has asked me to tag a programming manual for accessibility and I'm a little lost.  There are a lot of both images and code samples in this text that I have no idea how to work with because the automatic tagging seems to have gone haywire.
    I downloaded the Acrobat 9 Pro Accessibility Repair Workflow document and have done the following:
    Determined that my document is not a scanned document.
    Determined that there are no forms or buttons in this document.
    Set the language to English.
    Set the document security to "no security".
    Determined that the document has bookmarks.
    Determined that the document is not a tagged document.
    Run the Accessibility Full Check.
    This is where I ran into problems--both because of the nature of the document and my own ignorance of the "making accessible" process.
    My table of contents is split up into multiple areas shown as tables but the individual items in the table are irregularly identified--I have no clue how to get them to appear correctly.  Any tips would be appreciated.  Should the Table of Contents even be a table?  I know it's called a table, but it has multiple levels and I'm just not sure what to do with it.
    There are also several tables in the document.  They appear mostly OK, but Acrobat seems to think that the tables are made up of individual figures and produces "No alternate text for Figure" errors on some of them.
    Finally, how on earth do I do text flow on code??  The code is all text, not images.
    If anyone knows anything about this whole accessibility thing I would greatly appreciate your input.
    Thank you!
    Jenn

    It may actually be faster to save it as a DOC file. The formatting may get messed up, but fixing that may be faster than doing all of the tagging you need to do. At the end, you have a document that can easily be modified in the future and recreated in PDF form. The long-term workflow should be better. My guess you will find that setting up a style sheet in WORD (or using an existing one) will be easy to use in addressing the issues. When I think of setting a bookmark in some location, I think of the work in setting just one bookmark manually in Acrobat. I think that WORD would actually be easier if the file transfer is readonably. Worth a try anyway.

  • Accessibility PDF using Acrobat 8

    Hi Dudes,
    I am srinath - Newbie from India, for past two months im struggling with Accessibility Pdf. One of my serious error is after backgrounding some elements (running head at top of all pages) suddenly they got disappeared, but still those contents are there in hidden format. Please suggest me how to bring those contents visible in my pdf file.
    Steps i followed are,
    1. Selected TouchUp Reading Order from, Advanced -> Accessibility.
    2. Highlighted the content and set it as backgroud from TouchUp Reading Order Panel.
    Thanks in Advance
    Srinath.R

    Very likely you have tucked the items under another object on the PDF page.
    All too often this can be an outcome from use of TORU.
    Sometimes this can be fixed by locating it in the Content panel and making position adjustments there.
    After having Acrobat perform a best-estimate/guess about the Tag structure you need to enter the Structure Tree (in the Tags panel) to perform the majority of the clean up activity (there will always be some).
    An addition - If you can do so, it is often easier to go back into the authoring file from which the PDF was created.
    Use the authoring application's tag management to identify the header/footer content as meant to be an artifact.
    With MS Word both Adobe PDFMaker and the Office Save As PDF-XPS features provide this as a "built-in" when the Accessibilty feature of each is engaged.
    Be well...

  • Bug? Accessibility Tags Converting from Word 2007

    This seems like a minor issue, but it's one that could create a lot of frustration for a disabled person using a screenreader to read tabular data in a PDF.
    As you know, Acrobat plays nicely with Office apps allowing users to create tagged (structured), accessible PDF documents from MS Office files. I just created a simple docx file with a table (attached), and when I converted it to PDF, I noticed a difference in the tags it creates compared to conversion from Word XP. As you see in the Word file, the table is very basic, except that one of its column headers is split into two cells. This is actually a very common technique for presenting table data. In order to automatically tag the header rows as table header cells <TH> in the PDF, I set the first two rows to "Repeat Header Rows."
    Converting from Word 2007 with the "Save as Adobe PDF," or any other method that uses the Acrobat plugin, creates a tag tree that is missing a <TH> tag. I found the problem when I was testing a file with JAWS screenreading software. Using the JAWS "current cell" command (Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5) to announce the column headers. It reads the wrong header for the current cell due to the missing <TH>. So, in my example file, it announces $2 and $5 as 2010 amounts rather than 2009. That could be pretty confusing to a screen reading user, to say the least.
    I then compared the result to the new Word 2007 "Save as PDF or XPS" feature. That feature tagged the file properly and the header columns match up.
    Compare the attached "save-as-adobe-pdf.gif" to"save-as-pdf-xps.gif". Note the empty (but necessary) <TH> tag in the latter image.
    Just as a sanity check I had a coworker with Word XP convert the file. Those tags were correct too. So, this must be a problem between Acrobat and Word 2007.
    Anyone have other observations on this? I'm going to be leading some accessibility training and right now, it looks like using the Word 2007 conversion feature is the way to go.
    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi Joe,
    I sense your frustration. For any organization that has to or wants to engage in providing accessible online information
    a serious logistics support issue raises its head. To do PDF, HTML, whatever the proper way (and it can be done)
    requires more resources (training, knowledge, hardware, software, changes to work flows, perhaps some more staff).
    The is no "work smarter with less & pump out more" in this venue.
    Yes, it is helpful (and necessary) to "be one" with the S508 "paragraphs" - WCAG 1.0 - WCAG 20.
    However, once anyone begins to provide PDFs that must be "accessible" the first, single most important reference is ISO 32000.
    The Adobe PDF References that preceded PDF becoming an ISO Standard are useful; but, ISO 32000 is the standard.
    In this documentation there is full discussion of what *must* be done to provide an accessible PDF.
    Without a firm understanding of this content, other information tends to bring about a defused opacity of focus which can
    contribute to major conceptual errors vis-a-vis accessible PDF.
    Leonard Rosenthol's AUC blog entry provides a link to the ISO permitted Adobe version (free) of ISO 32000-1.
    http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000
    Additional, useful information is found in these two documents:
    (1) - PDF Accessibility API Reference (from the Acrobat SDK)
    https://acrobat.com/#d=J7bWW4LvNoznh8fHCsfZDg
    (2) - Reading PDF Files Through MSAA
    https://acrobat.com/#d=uIOvkVTP74kag3bXFJLIeg
    About JAWS - Yes, much used. However, not the exlusively used AT application.
    If I use Windows Eyes, NVDA, a braille reader, or something else then what?
    JAWS *does not* define "it is accessible"...
    re: (1)
    "Game away and if it ...."
       Consider "Stop before right on red".
       "Compliance" is Stop on Red - Turn Right
       "Intent" (aka usability) is Stop on Red -  Look Good for on coming traffic that has the right of way - Yield - when clear, turn right.
    But, at least we are not talking about "left on red" 8^)
    re: (2)
    Just an observation. A defective product that claims to be "whole" can get entities (individuals/businesses) into a sticky wicket.
    Putting a high volume of defective products on one's selves only increases the probability that one gets 'busted'.
    Quantity replacing Quality just is not a success precursor.
    Case in point - Target and the national class action legal action that was taken against it with regards to "accessibility" of online information/services.
    Resolved now - see NFB's web site.
    re: (3)
    Ah, but what would Judge Judy or Judge Marily say?
    Efficiency does not preclude providing a "whole" product.
    I doubt that there will ever be a seamless "one-click" between products of any of the dominant software houses.
    They are intense competitors. That this is the case does not abrogate others from providing a "whole" product, no?
    So, if the organization wants the "we do accessible PDF" label then it pays the freight - Adobe Pro, training, appropriate work flows, etc
    that permit delivery of PDFs that meet the standards for what a well formed tagged output PDF is (accessible is a sub-set of this).
    For PDF there is no other way.
    If this cannot be done then there is always HTML as an acceptable method (to some it is the preferred and only "true" way).
    However, HTML, done "right" for accessiblilty is just as demanding in its own way.
    With each AT version / dot version release, JAWS - Windows Eyes - NVDA & others hone in closer on utilizing PDF ISO Standard 32000.
    That means if you deploy "accessible" PDF you need to provide PDF that live to the ISO standard.
    Keep in mind that S508's paragraphs began when, effectively, HTML was "it". In software terms that was geologic eons ago.
    For contemporary AT to effectively parse PDF, the PDF must be a well formed Tagged PDF having a format/layout that reflects a logical hierarchy.
    Creation of all this must start in the authoring environment with the content author.
    The post-process PDF output then assures that the PDF elements (tags) are the correct type, have the requisite attributes, etc.
    Without this, AT will not be able to provide the end-user effect utilization of the PDF.
    So, for AT to properly 'work' the PDF, <TH> elements *must* have the Scope attribute's value defined, Row and Column Span values defined, etc.
    Scope, Row Span, Column Span, Table IDs and Headings must be added as part of the post-processing of a PDF using Acrobat Professional.
    An alternative is the Netcentric CommonLook plug-in for Acrobat Professional. What it does, Acrobat Pro can do; however, the CommonLook
    provides a robust user interface. Downside: at some $1k per seat it is not 'cheap' and it has a *steep* learning curve (Sitka Pass?).
    Two table related resources are at this AUC thread (in post 3 and 4). They may be of some usefulness.

    When the "smelly stuff" gets feed into the maw of the fan it's prudent to not be directly down stream, eh.
    Consider Target and the situation they put themselves in.
    Consider submittal of accessible PDF to fedgov or stategov agencies.
    They won't be in front of the fan if usability of the PDFs becomes an issue.
    Rather, it will be those submitting. After all the agency did say "accessible".
    Better to slow down and do it right or ramp up resource loading to support "schedule" than to stake oneself out as someones "feed" tomorrow, no?
    In the final analysis, for PDF, HTML, or any 'format',  Accessibility is the Usability + Compliance.
    Does it take improvements in professional development/training, adequate hardware/software, *time*?
    Yes. But, it all comes down to "where the rubber hits the road" - what tires are you on?
    It can be done. I do it one small step at a time every day. Often, that's what it takes.
    Deliverables are provided; but, with no mis-labeling and the incremental progress is identified, celebrated and the whole thing continues until
    the "road" is completed properly.
    Don't want wash outs, bridge collapse or what not tomorrow <g>.
    (But then I'm a fan of "Holmes on Homes" which may go a long way towards understanding my point of view when it comes to accessible PDF.)
    re: function(){Return ....
    Good question.
    My guess - either from the cut & paste I initially performed from the application I'd been using to assemble write up and screenshots or something associated with the Adobe Forum application.
    It can't be that I'm 'special'; if that was the case one of my occassional lotto quick picks would have been a big $ winner long ago <G>.
    fwiw -
    You'll find a number of "Accessible PDF" related resources in the threads at the AUC Accessibility Forum.
    http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewforum.php?id=18
    Two Accessible PDF related on demand eSeminars are also available.
    Look for Duff Johnson's and Charlie Pike's (on page 2) eSeminars.

  • Serious accessibility regression in Acrobat 9 UI, low constrast black toolbars

    I've been evaluating whether to upgrade to Acrobat 9, or stay with Acrobat 8. Acrobat 9 fixes a Javascript auto-crash code segment I want to use in a PDF Form my business uses (the PDF currently coaches the users do a less user friendly workaround in Acrobat 8). I see in Acrobat 9, Adobe reworked the interface. Form editing is now modal to my displeasure. Even worse, there are these garish candy Vista-ish black low contrast tool and side bar. So I turned on accessible colors through Control Panel->Display->Appearance Tab->Color Scheme Drop-down List->High Constrast White. I use the Windows 2000 interface, not the blue XP interface. In Acrobat 8, it obeyed the accessible color scheme, as shown in the attached screenshots. In Acrobat 9, it ignores them (see attachments). Adobe claims Acrobat 9 follows legal/regulatory/industry accessibility compliance at  http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/compliance/acrobat_9_508.html#softwaredetails  and at http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/acrobat/faq.html#q7 . I see no way of getting rid of the white on black low contrast toolbars/sidebars in Acrobat 9. The method that worked in Acrobat 8, doesn't in Acrobat 9. I see nothing in the release notes for 9.1.0, 9.1.1, 9.1.2, or 9.1.3 about accessibility, so I assume this bug exists in later versions. Am I doing something wrong in changing the UI colors of Acrobat 9, or Adobe dropped the ball on this issue?
    Versions details:
    Windows XP SP2,  Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro
    Windows XP SP3,  Acrobat 8.1.0 Pro

  • Pass SQL from Access 2000 to Acrobat

    I have the need to pass dynamic SQL statements (including the use of variables) from Access 2000 to an Adobe form.  The Adobe form will then display the data that is gathered by the SQL.  While I am fairly good at Access and SQL, I am just beginning with Acrobat.  The forms are developed and coded in LiveCycle Designer.  The SQL code has the ability to directly access either the linked tables in the Access DB or the data tables on the SQL server.  Thank you for your help and time.

    I did not find the 1.30 plugin. I finally got it to work by fooling oracle into thinking that I had a 9i database installed by manually creating the \oracle\ora91 directory.
    Thanks for your help though!

  • How do I access and install Acrobat standard 9

    I had previously purchased Acrobat 9 and tried the new Acrobat XI.  I didn't like it as well as I did Acrobat 9 standard edition.  When I tried to access it I could no longer get it to give me a download for that particular version. I can see my key but can't download.  I spoke to support on chat but they said they couldn't help. Does anyone know how?

    You should reinstall from your CD or original download. No need to download again.
