Hi,
I’m wondering if there are any plans for DataWindow to support PDF/UA tagging in reports we create in PowerBuilder, so that they comply with ISO 14289. In Europe, accessibility requirements for PDF documents from banks will come into effect between 2025 and 2030.
It would be a great solution if, within a DataWindow, one could define the semantic reading order, alternative text for images, and text fields, etc.—ideally for all objects inserted into a DataWindow and in a composite window. A tagging option for roles, alternative text, and whether an object should be read aloud or not—by tagging it as an artifact—would be very useful.
These are just suggestions for the minimum tagging capabilities that should be supported.
