Re: [orca-list] Orca isn't reading header levels in PDF documents

[Germano Corrêa <germanobruscato gmail com>]

Just to clarify: It DOES read the text, but it doesn't mention the heading level of it.

Answering Joanmarie: I don't know, the document is in my native language, Brazilian Portuguese, would you mind?

Answering B. Henry: Well, I tested other documents, and Orca don't read their heading levels too, but isn't just heading levels (ie. lists are not mentioned as lists, as I think it should happen, like on web pages, it read as if it were pure text). That's why I think I forgot some configuration.

I would say that the document that I tested it is accessible, because it was tested with Jaws and NVDA, and both recognized the heading levels. This document was created with Microsoft Word 2007, WinXP (yeah, pretty old) in a coworker's computer. As my LibreOffice doesn't create PDF files with heading levels - and lists or other things that are recognized by any screen reader I tested - besides pure text, I used this document.

PDFs are certainly not created equally.
Some conform to good accessibility standards, others do not.
Is this something you regularly experience, all the time, or just with some documents?

For someone who keeps up with gnome development more than I:
Has there been much change and or improvement in evince and or poppler in recent releases?
I just read the main wiki page and hit a couple of links, but did not see a lot of detail.
They mention a summer of code, but think it has passed judging by last updated time, which was about a year ago.
3.2 was the last release mentioned by number, and as I recall it was around 3.10 that things actually became accessible, maybe was as early as 3.7-8.
Debugging looks to be pretty flexible at any rate.
