I browse this list occasionally so forgive me I'm not following standard procedure. And I realize this isn't an Acrobat forum, but FM and Acrobat work so closely together....
I have to create 508-compliant pdfs from FM, and I thought I was clicking along just fine until some of my pdfs started to get kicked back to me in the last month because they weren't considered compliant anymore. Specifically they are mentioning I need a header in the table tag and I need to defining the scope (of the table, I guess). When I was first trying to create 508 compliant pdfs from FM, I remember seeing a table tag (marked with a tiny little table icon) in the reading order layout in Acrobat. But now I don't see those table tag icons anymore in the pdf reading order. I just see a generic sort of object tab (a little brown box thingy) for everything in the reading order, including tables. I haven't changed my table tags in FM. The only changes over the last few years have been to upgrade through a couple of versions of Acrobat (from Acrobat 7/8 to Acrobat X now) and from FM 7.2 to FM 9. I want to work smarter, not harder, so I want to get things correct in the FM source rather than fix things in Acrobat afterwards, but I have no idea why my table tags don't seem to make it through to the pdf. I always create tables from the Table menu and define a header row and put the table in its own paragraph (using a tag called Table). Also, when I try to fix things in the pdf and check the table header and table row tagging, I can't even force the table to be recognized as a table. I can't even get the Table Editor button to be active (it stays grayed out no matter what I do). There's this Table Inspector feature people talk about but I don't see that anywhere. Anyone have some advice on how to properly tag tables so they are recognized as tables in FM? I'm hoping it is something simple I'm overlooking. I went for so long with nobody saying my pdf was not 508 compliant that I have no idea when things might have changed in how FM table tagging has changed. Maybe I'm messing up the PDF options when I make the pdf, though I am enabling the Tagged pdf option. Help! Using FM 9 and Acrobat X on Win 7.
