Enable Accessibility Button - why hide this important feature in a complicated script?

Telerik Report Designer is one of the few report writing tools on the market that can export tagged PDF content. It's a major advantage of your solution. Why can it not be turned on by default, or enabled via a menu button. Better yet, how about including an Accessibility menu setting to allow for more detailed configuration of key elements?

Thanks, Dimitar. I understand. It just seems to me that Telerik Report Designer's ability to facilitate the creation of accessible PDFs should be a significant feature, warranting an on/off switch, with default on.

Hi James,

Thank you for the feedback!

We allow turning this setting through the RuntimeSettings property of the Report which means that it is also available in the Designers - Enable per-report allowed export formats configuration.

With that being said, with the current release, there is a problem with changing this setting through the RuntimeSettings but it will be fixed with the next release - EnableAccessibility is not respected when set in the Standalone Designer (telerik.com).

Until then, this can be set in the configuration of the designer application - extensions Element | Telerik Reporting.

Regards,
Dimitar
