Re: PDF reading order and tag order

Quote: "The most important order in an accessible PDF is the tag order viewable in the Tags pane."

I'd say that "most important" is in the mind of the individual!

If you were deaf/blind, you'd be using a braille device like a braille keyboard, which most likely would use the Order reading order, not the Tag reading order.

Many other A.T. for cognitive, neurologic, and mobility disabilities use the Order, too.

Bottom line: both reading orders are important if you want to provide accessibility to all of your users.
