Bounding Box Failures (Simplified Editor)

Modified on Thu, 26 Mar at 1:48 PM

In some documents you make accessible through the Simplified Editor, you might find a Failure on your Compliance Report claiming that your image is missing a Bounding Box or that it is incorrectly sized.

The Bounding Box (BBox) shows the exact position and size of items on a page. This is crucial for assistive technologies to know where these tagged elements are located and how big they are.


While fixing these issues is not a functionality of the Simplified Editor, you can easily take the accessible PDF into the Advanced Editor to sort out the issue. If you are not familiar with the Advanced Editor, this is a simple process that does not require vast knowledge of the Advanced Editor pathway, but it is the only way to fix the issue within our tools!

This article details the process for fixing Bounding Box issues in the Advanced Editor, making use of the built-in Fix Wizard functionality.
