Reference: PBI 358050
Compliance Impacts: This enhancement is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
Documentation: No Documentation Impact

Summary

Modified creation of the TagTree structure to simplify the tags and meet proper tagging requirements as follows: consolidated separate paragraph tags to eliminate the extra ‘pause’ by screen readers, removed tags with empty values, replaced incorrectly used paragraph and span tags with either sections or divisions.

Technical Notes

Modified FOPRender.java to add support for FillableCheckbox to FoFIlter. Added ID attribute to Signer object created by FOAcroFormFieldFilter. Added ADA roles to various components in layout tables; remove tags for non-breaking spaces. Rewrite logic that cleans up the tag tree before final PDF production. Modified Content Stylesheets to add role attribute for Sections; fix missing fo:table-row in Signature markup; add role attribute to Para and FragmentedPara.

Implementation Notes

This feature requires an Expere Engine Update and Content Stylesheets update (Stylesheets Modified: WKFS_StyleGuide.xsl, Signature.xsl, Sections.xsl).
