You can tag a selected region, change the tag type for a region, as well as remove some useless page elements, with the Reading Order command. Since editing tags with the Reading Order command doesn’t create the same level of details to the tagging structure as the tools in the Autotag group, you can use this manual tagging if you don’t have any better method to edit the tags. 

Notes:

1. Open a tagged PDF document and click Accessibility > Reading Order.

Reading order and document structure tags are two important characteristics of accessible PDFs. The Reading Order command helps you easily check the reading order and edit tags for PDFs. However, the command is used to fix basic tagging problems for PDFs that were tagged with Foxit PDF Editor, not for PDFs that were tagged during conversion from an authoring application. If possible, try to return to the source file and add accessibility features in the authoring application.

Alternative text for figures will be displayed when you hover your mouse over the figure to help you understand the figures better. 

To set alternative text for all the figures in your PDF one by one with the Set Alternate Text command:

In PDF files, tags indicate the structure of documents and define the logic that binds the content together including the correct reading order, and the presence and meaning of figures, which can work better with the assistive technology like screen readers. To check whether a PDF is tagged, navigate to File > Properties > Description > Tagged PDF. 

Foxit PDF Editor provides users with single-key accelerators for accessibility to navigate PDF. 

Foxit PDF Editor enables visually impaired users to read and interact with PDF using NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) and JAWS (Job Access with Speech). While reading and interacting with PDF, you can use the Setup Assistant command in the Accessibility tab to improve how Foxit PDF Editor interact with your screen reader, or change your reading settings for the current document by choosing Accessibility > Reading Option in Foxit PDF Editor.

The reflow view allows users to read documents on a mobile device or even a screen magnifier without scrolling horizontally to read text by presenting pages as a single column that is the width of the document pane. 

To read PDF in reflow view, choose Home > Reflow, or choose View > Reflow.

To return to non-reflowed view, click again on the Reflow button.

Notes:

While using a screen reader to read PDFs, users can change the reading settings for the current document like reading order and mode.

1. Click Accessibility > Reading Option.
2. Choose the desired reading options and click Start.

Note: The preferences set here are only valid for the current document, whereas the settings with Setup Assistant are the default for all documents and remain in effect until you change them with Setup Assistant.

1. Click Accessibility > Setup Assistant.
2. In the Accessibility Setup Assistant dialog box, choose options that you need or are suitable for your assistive software/hardware.
3. If you click Cancel in any step, all the options you have chosen will be discarded and the original setting will be used.

Tip: You can set more accessibility preferences from File > Preferences > Accessibility/Reading/F
