Does anyone have experience producing accessible PDF files from Telerik
.NET Reporting software?:

According to a company blog post from May 29, 2019, Telerik can produce
a PDF/UA compliant PDF.

Create Accessible PDF Documents with Telerik Reporting:

But some colleagues are having difficulty matching that promise to
reality(!). I couldn't find much documentation on how to control the
tagging of the PDF output. Our initial attempts produced files that were
woefully inaccessible, though, surprisingly, they still managed to pass
the PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) tool tests cleanly with zero errors.

Any insight or links to resources would be appreciated.

Phil.
