Introducing our AI-powered layout detection and autotagging capabilities to streamline document accessibility workflows. This initial release provides automated structure identification and tagging to accelerate PDF remediation. To enable this feature, please contact your Grackle Account Manager.
MCID Error Exposure and Fix
A new Health Check tab has been added to the Structure Parents Wizard, providing deeper visibility into MCID errors and abnormalities. When you select a data corruption item, relevant fix options are displayed with descriptive captions to guide remediation. This capability will continue to evolve as new corruption types are identified and fix approaches are developed.
Convert Untagged to Tagged
Quickly convert untagged content into tagged elements:
Select an existing tag in the tags tree as the parent
Select an untagged portion (shown with dashed line) and right-click
Choose “Convert Untagged to Tag” from the context menu
The untagged content becomes a <P> tag within the selected parent tag, ready for further manual adjustment.
Improvements
Improved Table Editing Functionality
Table cell and row manipulation capabilities have been significantly enhanced:
Cell insertion improved for more reliable table editing
Row deletion now available
Quick row completion: Insert cells to fill up a row with a single keyboard shortcut
Wrapping existing tags to tables via the tags tree is now improved
Summary attribute: Now always available for Table tags in the tag property editor
LinkWizard Enhancements
Faster and more accurate link tag updates for improved performance
Zoom type support: Internal destinations now support different zoom levels (fit types)
Sortable columns: Use column headers (Type, Page, Target Type) to sort and group links for easier discovery and modification in large collections
Keyboard Commands Usability
Initial improvements to keyboard command usability have been implemented. Please note that significant additional enhancements to keyboard navigation are planned for upcoming releases.
Page Viewer Highlight Behavior Fixed
When working with multiple tag selections, the page viewer now properly synchronizes with your selections. Previously, using Ctrl or Shift keys to select multiple tag nodes in the tags tree would result in inconsistent highlighting in the page view.
This has been resolved, ensuring that all selected tags are accurately highlighted in the corresponding page content, making it easier to verify your selections and understand the relationship between tags and their visual representation on the page.
NonStruct Tags on Dual-Page Spreads
Documents with landscape pages designed as dual-page spreads can now be properly structured for accessibility compliance. When a single landscape page contains content that should be read as two separate pages (such as a magazine or book spread), you can now automatically group this content into two distinct NonStruct tags. These tags are numbered sequentially based on reading order rather than physical page numbers, ensuring that assistive technology navigates through the content in the correct logical sequence.
To use this feature, access the new option through the drop-down submenu of the Auto NonStruct command. This is particularly useful for publications, brochures, and documents originally designed for print that contain facing-page layouts within single PDF pages.
Convert Untagged Content to Tagged
A new workflow has been added to streamline the remediation of untagged content within your PDF documents. When you encounter untagged portions of a document (displayed with dashed lines in the content view), you can now quickly convert them into properly tagged elements without manually creating new tags from scratch.
How to use:
In the tags tree, select an existing tag that will serve as the parent container for the untagged content
In the page or content view, select the untagged portion you want to convert (shown with dashed lines)
Right-click to open the context menu
Select “Convert Untagged to Tag”
The previously untagged content is immediately converted into a <P> (paragraph) tag nested within your selected parent tag. From there, you can easily change the tag type, adjust properties, or reposition the tag as needed.
This feature significantly speeds up the remediation process by reducing the manual steps required to incorporate untagged content into your document’s accessibility structure.
