The source PDF files are authored by people unkown to me and the source files are not available. Many a times I encounter problems which can be solved only by an expert in accessible PDF files. One such problem is "when I tag a paragraph as say "text", the actual text disappears". At times, this happens with tables as well as images/graphics. Who can help in understanding why this happens? The second problem is that I am not convinced the way screen reader reads Tables. If what I am saying is wrong, I would like to receive a tagged PDF file with a table in it which will make sense to a visisbly impaired person. Can someone guide me?
