Accessible reading and navigation
Foxit PhantomPDF allows you to set accessibility preferences that control the document
colors, document display and reading order, and provides keyboard shortcuts, which are
good for visually impaired and motion-impaired users to better read and navigate PDFs
with or without assistive software/hardware.
Use the Setup Assistant command and follow the onscreen instructions to set
accessibility preferences and the Reading Option command to change the reading
settings for the current document like reading order and mode.
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.
Create accessible PDFs (Business only)
Accessible PDF documents have content and elements including searchable text, alternate
text descriptions for images/interactive form fields, reading order, and document tags, to
enable people with disabilities to work on them with or without screen readers or other
assistive software/hardware. Foxit PhantomPDF provides commands and panels to help
make your PDF accessible by tagging PDFs and form fields, setting alternate text, editing
tags, and more.
You can use the Autotag Document command and the Autotag Form Field command to
quickly tag PDF documents and form fields. You can view the tags created in the Tags panel
in the navigation pane.
To set alternate text for figures in your PDF, click Set Alternate Text. The alternative text
of a figure can be displayed when you hover over your mouse over the figure to help you
understand the figure better.
