PDF Accessibility — Headings Not Tagged as Heading Elements

moderatedocument scope

This PDF contains text that looks like headings — large, bold section titles — but those elements have not been tagged as heading elements in the document's tag structure. Screen reader users navigate long PDF documents by jumping between headings, the same way they navigate web pages. Without heading tags, every part of a multi-section report looks the same to a screen reader, making it impossible to quickly jump to the section the user needs.
