Tables

By Cynthia, 9 December, 2025

For the table structure, which can be complex, Foxit PDF Editor recommends that users check them for accessibility manually.

Rows

If the check fails, open the Tags panel, and make sure that each Table Row in a table is a child of Table, THead, TBody, or TFoot in Foxit PDF Editor Pro

TH and TD

For accessibility, Table Header <TH> and Table Data <TD> are children of Table Row <TR>. If the check fails, verify it in the Tags panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro.

Headers

For accessibility, all tables must have a header. If the check fails, verify it in the Tags panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro.

Regularity

Tables must contain the same number of columns in each row, and rows in each column. If the check fails, verify it in the Tags panel in Foxit PDF Editor Pro.

Summary

A table summary is not a must, but it can make the document more accessible. The document author can add or edit the table summary with Foxit PDF Editor Pro

  • Choose Accessibility > Reading Order
  • Right-click on the table, and select Edit Table Summary.
  • In the pop-up Table Summary dialog box, input a summary, and click OK
