PAC 2 Warning
Irregular table
Category
Logical Structure: Structure Elements: Tables
Failure Condition
Matterhorn Protocol Checkpoint 15-005: A given cell’s header cannot be unambiguously determined.
Suggestion
This suggestion applies to a table that is intended to be simple and regular (each row has the same number of columns and vice versa), but is irregular due to one or more missing table cells.
In PAC 2, inspect the table using the Screenreader Preview feature to determine the cause of the table irregularity – that is, where do cells need to be added such that each row has the same number of columns and vice versa, and such that the table makes sense when presented through assistive technology. Add table data cells in the Acrobat Pro tags pane as needed to remediate the table.
