ADOBE ACROBAT 7.0 79 Section 11: Repairing reading order and basic tagging problems EXAMPLE 9. Changing the reading order to make a figure follow its reference A second way to change the reading order is to drag highlighted regions on the page. This technique is most useful when you want to make a screen reader read a figure and caption at the specific point where they are referenced in the text. When you drag a highlighted region on a page, a text-insertion pointer follows the mouse to show you the exact drop location. If that location is inside another region, Acrobat splits that region to insert the dragged region into the reading order at that location, and then renumbers all highlighted regions to show the new reading order. With this technique, you are in essence "moving" figures in the reading order to follow their in-text references. Remember that this technique changes only the reading order. No content on the page changes appearance. Problem: You would like a figure and its caption to be near where they are discussed in the reading order (upper left). Solution: Click the number of the highlighted region (upper right) and drag the mouse to place the text-insertion pointer at the target location (lower left). The result (lower right) splits the target region into two regions and creates a new entry for each region in the Order tab.

Section 11: Repairing reading order and basic tagging problems
EXAMPLE 9. Changing the reading order to make a figure follow its reference
A second way to change the reading order is to drag highlighted regions on the page. This technique is most useful
when you want to make a screen reader read a figure and caption at the specific point where they are referenced in
the text. When you drag a highlighted region on a page, a text-insertion pointer follows the mouse to show you the
exact drop location. If that location is inside another region, Acrobat splits that region to insert the dragged region
into the reading order at that location, and then renumbers all highlighted regions to show the new reading order.
With this technique, you are in essence “moving” figures in the reading order to follow their in-text references.
Remember that this technique changes only the reading order. No content on the page changes appearance.
Problem:
You would like a figure and its caption to be near where they are discussed in the reading order (upper left).
Solution:
Click the number
of the highlighted region (upper right) and drag the mouse to place the text-insertion pointer at the target location (lower left). The result (lower
right) splits the target region into two regions and creates a new entry for each region in the Order tab.
