I have a Word 2007 document with a TOC and converted to acrobat 9. The TOC has page view links so that the user can jump to the different content pages. When I converted to PDF that links were gone but the links in the footnotes were there.
when I went to add a link in the TOC it works fine. When I check with the Accessibiity checker it says it is outside the tree structure. When I look at the Tag it is still a 'reference' tag instead of a 'link'. Anyway to resolve this? As a point, it must pass the accessibility checker to be accepted.
thx
From Adobe Accesible PDF documentation:
However, because the methods differ in how they affect the tag tree,
Adobe recommends only one method at this stage in the workflow:
activating each link manually by using the Create Link command.
Unlike the other methods for creating links in a tagged PDF document
(by using the Links tool or the Create From URLs In Document command),
using the Create Link command adds all three tags that screen readers require in order to recognize a link.
The other methods create only one of the three tags, which means that you must manually edit the tag tree
to add the remaining two tags for each link and place these tags in the proper reading order in the tree.
Although you must activate links one by one, using the Create Link command provides the fastest results
and the least amount of follow-up work to make the links accessible to screen readers.
All that you need to do afterward is edti the tag tree to add alternate text to the new links, if desired.
You must use Acrobat Professional to perform this accessibility task, and to add alternate text to links.
Creating links by using Acrobat Standard does not generate any tags for the links.
