Select the “Accessibility Settings” option from the file menu in the editor. 2.) Alternatively, you can access accessibility settings directly through the download flow by selecting the “Accessible PDF” option button and then selecting the “Accessibility Settings” link. ![](https://help.marq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-08-48-7340-PM.png?width=163&height=393&name=image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-08-48-7340-PM.png)![](https://help.marq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-11-21-5213-PM.png?width=226&height=396&name=image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-11-21-5213-PM.png) - **Configure Alt Text**: - In the **Accessibility Settings**, you can now automatically detect which elements require alt text. - For decorative shapes (e.g., color fills), these are automatically marked as artifacts, so PDF readers skip them. - For images, you can manually input alt text if needed. The system will highlight any missing alt text. ![](https://help.marq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-19-28-8995-PM.png?width=1912&height=852&name=image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-19-28-8995-PM.png) - **Set Reading Order**: - Reading order has been improved. Previously, layers dictated the order, but now it’s based on the top-left to bottom-right flow. - You can either manually adjust the reading order or use the **Auto Order** function to automatically map elements based on their placement. - If you add new elements, the system will maintain your previous order while allowing you to place new items where appropriate. ![](https://help.marq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-20-12-8275-PM.png?width=1915&height=842&name=image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-20-12-8275-PM.png) - **Export Your PDF**: - Once your alt text and reading order are finalized, export your PDF, ensuring it’s fully accessible with proper tags and order. ![](https://help.marq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-11-21-5213-PM.png?width=226&height=396&name=image-png-Sep-23-2024-05-11-21-5213-PM.png) -
