ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO Funny how your name crops up when I'm looking for technical know how on such things !! - 2nd time now I have seen your videos and what can I say - Another banger - Clearly a lady who knows how to dot i's and cross t's - thank you for sharing. BIG APPRECIATION FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND QUALITY.
Maybe I'm missing some key step but I thought I might find in this video, a way to find all path tags then mark those as artifacts using the preflight tool. On attempting this via what was mentioned around the 3:38 mark, it didn't do the job. I'd seen another video by Mike The Print Man where he had some custom preflight scripts and one did just that, though not for accessibility reasons in his case. Is there something already built into Acrobat Pro that finds path tags and artifacts them all, like those unneeded path files for all the table borders in some pdf files? -Doug
That fixup I mentioned will artifact them provided the paths are not inside tags. For instance, if you create a table in InDesign and export to PDF, the table borders do not appear in the tags tree. They do appear in the content pane. Running the fixup artifacts them. You're saying they are in the tags tree though?
@@DesignDomination thanks and "darn!" The process of removing so many path tags that provide nothing of use as far as accessibility goes is a real pain. I'll keep looking for a way to do this more efficiently.
Pre-flight fixups are probably the most confusing aspects of accessible PDFs for me. Curious if you know - once you run the PDF-UA entry, can it still be remediated with CommonLook? My new employer just got that for me and I'm still very new to it. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for checking it out, Adrienne! I don't use CommonLook, but I was told that once the PDF/UA identifier is set, you can't modify certain things in the PDF. I have found the same in a couple, but not all, instances.

Thank you, Aidan! I really appreciate that and so glad you found it helpful! I will be putting out much more accessibility content, so stay tuned. :)
@@DesignDomination NO - Thank you colleen, keep up the great work.

Adrienne, you can now open the PDF, go to Properties and unset the PDF/UA identifier there if you need to.
