You’re able to change the font, its size, color and alignment. When it comes to text tools, you have the basics you’d expect from any word processor. Once done, go back to your editing, and you’ll be able to write seamlessly through the boxes. Select it, then click (in order) the boxes you wish to connect together. However, Foxit has solved that problem with its ‘Link & Join Text’ feature. You might notice that the main body of the document will likely be split up into multiple such text boxes, making editing a bit of a pain, as words won’t automatically flow from one box to another. This also happens when you alter the content of these boxes. The text contained within one will automatically reflow as you alter its size. You’ll find your PDF is divided into text boxes, which can be selected, moved around and resized at will. Should you need to make changes to an existing PDF, you need to take a trip to the ‘Edit’ section - which is actually automatically selected once you open a document. Almost as easy as using a regular word processor.The quality of the tags for a table can vary greatly-this works best when there are clear borders between each cell and no background colors.Connect the various text boxes together to create a seamless flow when editing their content (Image credit: Foxit) Draw a box around the entire table and select the Table button. Click outside the table to exit the Table Inspector, then select the right-click, and choose Delete Selected Item Structure. If the table structure is very poor, it may be easier to have PhantomPDF re-tag the table automatically. Whenever possible, simplify your tables to avoid this overhead. Tables with more than one level of row or column headers, or with cells that span multiple rows or columns, may need extensive work to ensure they are presented correctly to screen readers.
Select the Header Cell radio button, then select the Scope menu and choose Row or Column (never choose "Both" or "None").Īfter selecting OK, the table header cells are highlighted in red and the data cells will be highlighted in gray. Right click on the selected cell(s) and choose Table Cell Properties. With the Reading Order tool open, select a table and then select Table Editor.Ĭlick and drag to select a group of the column or row headers. The Table Inspector allows you to easily identify, create, and repair table headers. If you do not see an option for your desired tag, you will need to create it manually in the Tags panel. This will hide an item completely from a screen reader. Sometimes it does this correctly, but this should still be checked with the table inspector.Ĭan be used to merge cells if they are incorrectly split. PhantomPDF attempts to assign rows, columns, and headings. If you select the image and adjacent text, then the image will be tagged as a figure and the text will be tagged as its caption. You will probably need to switch between these two techniques while repairing a PDF.Īfter selecting the area, choose the desired tag from the Reading Order window. This should select the box, but the behavior can be a bit buggy. If there is already a gray box around the element, and you just want to change the tag (e.g., changing a heading level), then try clicking on the tag in the top-left corner of the box. It is sometimes difficult to select exactly the right area, but it is a little easier if you try drawing a box that is slightly larger than the content. To add or change a tag, use the crosshairs ( ) to draw a box around content you want inside this tag. You cannot undo changes made with the Reading Order tool.
