I’m working on a project that requires generating Section 508-compliant PDFs, and I’m using Telerik Reporting to build the accessible reports. However, I’ve run into a problem with how screen readers—specifically NVDA—are interpreting table content.

In my report’s table, some values like 12/01/2023 aren’t being read as dates, and values like (192,340.00)—which represent negative numbers—aren’t being interpreted as “negative” or addressing the parenthesis.
