Hi Everyone,
I haven't seen this come up on the list for a long time, so I just wanted
to see if things had changed.
I am creating PDFs from Word documents, and they have page numbers.
Do you mark page numbers as artifacts (page)? Or do you keep them as <P>? I
like the artifact route, but I am open to changing that...I keep reading
different things in terms of how users use them and like them.
In the Reading Order panel, these documents always have the Page Number as
1 in the list. I was thinking about whether I should put the page number at
the end (ie: Text on page, footer text, footer image, page number) as the
text is way more important. However, here too I keep reading different
things from users.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Lisa

The proper place to expose page, section, or other page numbers information that doesn't match the PDF page numbers for assistive technology is under the Page Tab. Right click or open the context menu and choose Number Pages. That way you can keep page numbers artifacts. There still may be some header and footer information that needs to be exposed by tagging -- but this method should solve the page number issue.

Hi Jonathan,
That sounds perfect, thanks so much. So I gather that Pro stores that
information differently and doesn't tag it as it would page numbers from
Word? That is very cool!
Cheers

Oh and that solves the problem for my reading order too! Basically if I
number pages in the Page Tab, and then make the footer into a background
image (that is where the page numbers and images are stored)-that solves
both issues!
Thanks again,
Lisa

I'm not sure actually where (what dictionary, etc. ) this page data is stored but it's not as a tag in the tags panel.

Now I am curious! However, if that fits the bill then I am a happy camper.
Thanks again!
