I have a document that passes the Accessibility Checker and read correctly with a screen reader. I found a couple of spelling mistakes in the a heading and the TOC. The font is New Times Roman, varying sizes, and headings are defined as headers.
When I use the Edit Document Text tool, I first get this message from the Touchup dialog, "Warning! Since yhe original font is not available a substitute font for editing is used. Any changes to the text of the original font will be place a new font dependency upon the document". Do know why this is since the font is a standard New Times Roman font, any idea?
When I finish editing the word in the header, I can see the changes in the Tag Tree Structure. When I read it with the screen reader it sounds like gibberish. The Accessibility Checker says I have a Unicode error. I delete the Tag Tree stucture and retag the page. I still have the Unicode error and I can now see the corrected word as gibberish in the Tags Tree. Any idea why/how this is occuring and how can you fix it.
thx

So, this feature is only good for Print documents since there seem to be Accessibility issues like there was in v9?

The ability to edit text feature is best used if you have the exact same version of the font installed on your system (there are MANY different versions of Times New Roman out there). Yes, it is also good for print users, in a pinch, if they need to fix something.

You may want to look at some 3rd party programs to assist you. CommonLook is a plug-in that works with Adobe and allows you to edit many things that Adobe will not allow you to do. This program is great for people who ARE NOT the authors of the original document and need to make them accessible/508 compliant.When I finish editing the word in the header, I can see the changes in the Tag Tree Structure.
