In this webinar, we demonstrated how the PDFix Table Tool enhances the accessibility of tables in PDFs. The Table Tool simplifies the process of creating accessible tables, making it a valuable resource for anyone working with PDF tables. It’s incredibly easy to use – just drag a rectangle around the table, and the tool will automatically generate an initial layout while recognizing and tagging header cells with distinct colors for easy identification.

For more complex tables, the Table Tool allows you to adjust cell properties, merge rows or columns, and use the toolbar to view the number of rows and columns. Additionally, it provides a clear visual representation of the table structure, helping you easily differentiate between data cells and header cells. This ensures your tables are both well-structured and fully accessible.

With the PDFix Table Tool, you can easily split and redesign columns or rows to align with the correct table layout. Unnecessary columns can be removed, and missing rows added for accuracy, ensuring a clean and structured design. The tool also simplifies Header Tagging and Association – allowing you to define column and row headers effortlessly and link associated headers to establish clear, logical relationships within the table. Visual highlights confirm the connections, ensuring you can validate the table with confidence.

Plus, the Properties Control feature lets you fine-tune each cell’s settings, ensuring everything is tagged correctly for accessibility. With PDFix, managing tables in PDFs is much more precise and compliant with PDF/UA accessibility standards.
