Re: Save Excel Table as Tagged PDF?

You might try re-applying a default "Table Style" to your table? Or cut
and paste just your table data into a fresh table, and then select your
data and apply a fresh Table Style to it, and indicate in the pop-up
modal that your table has a heading row?

When I tested this just now to a fresh, bare new Excel with 3 rows and 3
columns, and used the Microsoft Office 2016 built-in Export -> Create
PDF/XPS Document function, I get a properly tagged PDF with a Table
tag,  THead and TBody tags, and with proper TH's nested in a single TR
in the THead.
