How to Fix the Problem
In Adobe Acrobat Pro:
- Open the Content pane.
- Open each Page container and ensure any content that has been artifacted is not nested inside tagged content.
Why it Matters
Artifacted content is intended to be ignored by screen readers and therefore should not be nested inside real content.
Rule Description
Content that has been marked as an artifact should not be present inside tagged content.
The Algorithm (in simple terms)
Do not nest artifacted content within real content.
