Are you spending hours "fixing" things in a PDF that your screen reader users will never notice? In this episode Chad Chelius and Dax Castro ask a hard question: Are you fixing the wrong thing?
We pop open the tags tree and talk about what really affects user experience and what is just busywork. From span tags and container tags that never get voiced, to lists that read like run-on paragraphs, to title tags vs H1s, role maps, and tables without proper scope, we walk through where your time actually matters.
If you have ever deleted 200 span tags by hand, fought with a list that "looks fine," or wrestled with complex tables in Acrobat, CommonLook, or axesPDF, this episode will help you rethink your workflow and prioritize the fixes that make a real difference for assistive technology users.
