Currently the generated accessible PDF documents contain tagged elements, but lack information about the logical structure of the PDF document. This prevents screen readers of correctly reading the PDF document contents. The tools like PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) do not display correctly the document structure.
Hi Jacob,

Here's how our example Dashboard report now looks like in PAC 2021 PDF/UA Checkpoint list:
And here's how its Screen Reader Preview looks like:
We hope that our implementation will now meet the standards for producing truly accessible PDF documents, passing validation of tools like Adobe Acrobat and PDF Accessibility Checker.
Regards,
Ivan Hristov
