WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.533 --> 00:00:08.333 In this video, we will learn 2 00:00:08.333 --> 00:00:13.000 how to check the reading order of a PDF and how to amend tags. 3 00:00:14.266 --> 00:00:16.066 In my accessibility check, 4 00:00:16.066 --> 00:00:17.666 one of the things that needs to be done 5 00:00:17.666 --> 00:00:20.133 manually is check logical reading order. 6 00:00:21.533 --> 00:00:24.000 There are two possible places where I could do this. 7 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.666 There's the reading order pane 8 00:00:27.666 --> 00:00:29.133 and the tags pane. 9 00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:32.533 The fact that the reading order pane is called 10 00:00:32.533 --> 00:00:35.466 that would indicate that that's probably the best place to do it, 11 00:00:36.266 --> 00:00:39.000 but this is not. The best place to check 12 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.133 the reading order is actually in the tags pane. 13 00:00:42.666 --> 00:00:44.400 The tags pane gives 14 00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:48.266 HTML-style tags to each item on the page. 15 00:00:48.866 --> 00:00:51.666 So we're going to go through each of these and check that they're correct. 16 00:00:52.466 --> 00:00:53.933 As I click on each one, 17 00:00:54.866 --> 00:00:56.666 a pink box will appear 18 00:00:56.666 --> 00:01:00.200 around that item in my document. 19 00:01:00.933 --> 00:01:05.666 So initially I've got a section, sect tag. 20 00:01:05.666 --> 00:01:09.266 When I click on that, it highlights everything on my page. 21 00:01:10.866 --> 00:01:12.733 Within the section, 22 00:01:12.733 --> 00:01:16.533 I have an H1 tag. H1 is heading level one. 23 00:01:17.066 --> 00:01:18.533 If I click on that, 24 00:01:18.533 --> 00:01:22.066 it highlights Canine Partners, which is the main heading on the page. 25 00:01:22.333 --> 00:01:24.000 If I open that H1 tag 26 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.533 by clicking on the arrow, I can see the text Canine Partners. 27 00:01:27.866 --> 00:01:30.000 So that's correct. 28 00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:33.733 The next tag is a paragraph, and when I click on it, 29 00:01:33.733 --> 00:01:37.133 the paragraph that is beneath that first heading is highlighted. 30 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.733 So that's good. 31 00:01:39.133 --> 00:01:41.400 The next heading is a heading level two. 32 00:01:41.666 --> 00:01:44.733 That's good because that's nested correctly. 33 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.733 The next P tag, paragraph tag 34 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.333 is here. 35 00:01:51.733 --> 00:01:54.466 Now, I know that the reason that that has been created 36 00:01:54.466 --> 00:01:57.533 is because I used a line break in my Word document 37 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.800 when I put in the image and before the paragraph. 38 00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:05.133 If I open this paragraph tag, 39 00:02:05.133 --> 00:02:08.000 there appears to be something in it, but it's empty. 40 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.800 There's no text. 41 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.866 That is what we call an empty tag. 42 00:02:12.533 --> 00:02:14.666 Empty tags can be deleted. 43 00:02:14.666 --> 00:02:16.933 So I'm going to delete that tag. 44 00:02:19.333 --> 00:02:21.400 So going again from heading level two, 45 00:02:23.533 --> 00:02:25.200 the next paragraph 46 00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:29.533 is the Canine Partners paragraph, but the logical reading order 47 00:02:29.666 --> 00:02:34.200 would be that the image comes first. The image is the figure tag. 48 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.066 So I'm going to drag that up above the paragraph 49 00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:39.800 and make sure that it goes slightly to the side. 50 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.066 I don't want it to be inside that H2 tag. 51 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:44.866 So there's the figure. 52 00:02:45.866 --> 00:02:46.466 I'm also 53 00:02:46.466 --> 00:02:49.466 going to check that that has kept its alt text that I gave it. 54 00:02:49.466 --> 00:02:52.600 I'm going to right click and go to properties 55 00:02:53.600 --> 00:02:58.133 and in the alternate text field I can see that it says Canine Partner icon. 56 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.933 So I'm happy with that. 57 00:03:00.933 --> 00:03:02.933 The next paragraph is the paragraph 58 00:03:02.933 --> 00:03:04.200 in the second column. 59 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.133 Then I have this paragraph that was in a fake text box. 60 00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:13.133 Then I have a heading level two. 61 00:03:13.133 --> 00:03:15.666 So again, everything's going quite nicely for the moment. 62 00:03:16.333 --> 00:03:18.200 The next paragraph is 63 00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:21.733 below heading level two and then I have an L tag. 64 00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:24.666 L is a list 65 00:03:24.666 --> 00:03:29.066 and if I click on the L, it highlights each item in the list. 66 00:03:29.333 --> 00:03:32.266 If I open that list tag, I can see that 67 00:03:32.266 --> 00:03:35.266 it has four list items, LI tags. 68 00:03:35.866 --> 00:03:41.800 And if I click on each of those, they're highlighted in the correct order. 69 00:03:42.466 --> 00:03:47.533 If I look inside each of them, they also have a list body tag and then the text, 70 00:03:47.733 --> 00:03:48.800 but that's fine. 71 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.866 So I'm going to close my list. 72 00:03:50.866 --> 00:03:52.333 Then I've got another paragraph. 73 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.533 That is over here, 74 00:03:54.533 --> 00:03:58.266 and again, it's an empty line so I can delete that tag 75 00:03:58.266 --> 00:04:00.000 because there's nothing in it. 76 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.533 If I wanted to check first that it is empty, I could do that. 77 00:04:04.066 --> 00:04:06.933 So I'm going to right click and delete tag. 78 00:04:08.266 --> 00:04:11.000 Finally, I have the image and I'm going to check that 79 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.533 that has kept its alt text by right clicking and clicking properties, 80 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.200 and the alt text is still there. 81 00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:21.400 So now I'm happy that all of my tags are correct 82 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.133 and in the right order.
