Headers & Footers (CL Office)

Modified on Wed, 20 Nov, 2024 at 12:12 PM

When using CommonLook Office on a document with running headers and/or footers, these document elements will be untagged by default. This is an intentional action to create a compliant PDF, as accessibility standards indicate that running headers and footers need to be in artifact containers, therefore untagged.

 

In short, if a user wants to have information in the header or footer to be shared with people using assistive technology, take that content out of the header (or footer) on the page where you want it read. If a user leaves the content in the header or footer and wants it made available to people using AT, this will require remediating the PDF after generation.   While possible, this is not advised, as the intent of CommonLook Office is to eliminate the need for adjustment after PDF conversion takes place.
