    How can I find tables in a PDF document?

    eric scoles

      When I fun a full accessibility check, it tells me that I have problems with some tables in the document. The current error that concerns me is this:

       

      "(g) 6 Table element(s) with no TH child elements."

       

      The document originally contained a number of tables. I examined them all for possible offenses, but couldn't find anything wrong.

       

      So I deleted the pages containing the tables, and I still get the error.

       

      There are no other tables in the document, at least that I'm able to see. And if I scan sub-ranges (e.g., 1-17, 18-33), the scan comes back clean for tables. So I'm forced to conclude that the tables aren't actually part of any page. 

       

      Hence the question: how can I find the offending tables and remove them?

          Tags are independent of PDF page content. Removing/deleting a page or page(s) does not remove anything in the PDF's structure tree.

          As Full Check is looking at the structure tree the report reflects what is present there.

          In the Tags panel walk the structure tree to locate the Table tags. Delete these.

           

          Be well...
