Acrobat PDF and tables

Hi all,



I have a follow-up question to the recent thread about PDF creator. I have
the updated version 2021.700…



I am having trouble with tables and I'm not sure if this is a bug with
Acrobat or something that I am doing wrong. I have documents in Microsoft
Word that contain tables. When I export to PDF and run the Acrobat
accessibility checker, I get the error "Headers - Failed"



In Microsoft Word, under Acrobat, Preferences, I have "enable advanced
tagging" checked.



Under table properties, I have checked the box "Repeat as header row at the
top of each page" for the header row.



Is there anything else I need to adjust or is this likely an issue with
Acrobat? I'm a newbie to creating accessible PDF documents and greatly
appreciate your advice!



Thanks,

Liv
