Fixing improperly marked artifacts

Fixing improperly marked artifacts
An authoring application, Tag PDF Agent, or the Make Accessible plug-in may
mark content as an artifact even though the content is important and needs to be
made available for screen reading devices.
It is also possible that unimportant or distracting information has been marked
as a structural element and you want to change it to an artifact so that a screen
reader won't attempt to read it. Using the logical structure tree in the Tags palette,
you can find and fix improperly marked artifacts.
To find artifacts:
Choose > Tags > Find Artifacts.
1
Select to search either current page or the entire document for artifacts.
2
Click Start Search.
3
When an artifact is found, it will be highlighted in the document view, and the
4
type of artifact will be displayed.
To find more artifacts, click Find Next, or to end the search, close the Artifacts
5
dialog box.
To change an artifact to an element:
With a high-level tag selected in the the logical structure tree, search the
1
document for artifacts.
When the desired artifact is found, create an element tag by entering a Tag
2
Title and selecting an Tag Type from the drop-down menu.
3 Click Create Tag. The new element tag will appear as the last child element of
the selected element in the logical structure tree.
Note: Tagged content cannot be created as a child element of other tagged content. If
you attempt to do so, you will be prompted to make another element selection in the
logical structure tree before creating the new tagged element.
To change an element to an artifact:
Select the content in the logical structure tree (the content appears below the
1
Tag and the tag title).
Choose Tags > Change Element to Artifact.
2
Choose an artifact type and a position on the page to attach the artifact.
