Re: tagging PDF's

Hello,

Yes, when you change the reading order from the Order panel, the order
objects are overlaid on the page is also changed. Sometimes when you
edit content in the Order panel, an object which should be in front of
another ends up behind it, and therefore adversely affects the layout.
You then need to manually correct it.

So I recommand to define the reading order from the Tags panel and the
content reflow from the Content panel.

I try to explain this in AcceDe PDF manuals :
http://www.pdf-accessible.com/en/accede-manuals/

7 - Defining the reading order, page 46
and
9 - Checking the content reflow, page 72

I hope it will be useful for you.

Regards,

Sébastien Delorme

> This is my whole problem. When I rearrange the reading order the design is altered. We have always had this problem. I was hoping that the Tag Tree would be okay. Our agency still creates a Large Print text file and Braille Ready text file of our publications so I know I am covered. But I know the one file fully accessible goes along way and that is what I am striving for. Through this discussion I have learned a lot on the proper tagging in Indesign and future projects I hope to do better so the reading order can be right.
