It depends how many TOC links you have. It's not too bad if it's 7 or 8. However, I have worked on documents where the TOC contained upwards of 50 links, and it would take hours to create all the destinations.

Good to know, thank you. And, without that tool, you're saying it's very time consuming to enable the TOC links to work correctly for screen reader users?
Thanks again,

Sadly, axesPDF is very expensive. However, it's well worth the cost if you do a lot of PDF remediation.

Thank you for this question and information. I too have been trying to figure this out; as I am working on a PDF document. Is AxesPDF free?

Yes, the reading starts from that point. I only use "single page view" and the links work fine in that view. I see no reason why they wouldn't also work in "scroll view".

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] TOC Hyperlinks question
Thanks Steve.
We've also tried another option which is to create proper links in Word and when exported to PDF we get similar results but the proviso is to make sure the user is in scroll view.
We have axesPDF. Are you saying that if we do it the way you suggest the reading will start from that point?
Thanks,
Ilana
