Re: Untagged PDF doc with table structure

I use InDesign CS6 and Acrobat Pro XI. Acrobat tags available to map to from InDesign are: P, H, H1 through to H6 and Artifact. Table tags are created automatically for PDF regardless of the mapping and they pick up my Table Header Rows as TH tags if I've marked a row as such in the InDesign table properties. But regardless of my mapping, the resulting PDF pulls across all the paragraph styles I've created and uses them as the tag type that you visually see in the PDF list. Running JAWS over the PDF though, if I've tagged Paragraph Style name 'Document Heading' as a H1 for export, JAWS will announce Heading Level 1 when the screen reader is activated.
