Problem Note 66425: Links in tagged PDF files that are created by ODS PDF are not read correctly by screen readers or displayed correctly for visual consumers
 |  |  |  |  |
You can create tagged PDF files with ODS PDF either by adding the ACCESSIBLE argument to the ODS PDF FILE= statement or by using the ACCESSIBLE system option. A tagged PDF file that includes links that are created by the URL style attribute might demonstrate one or more of the following problems:
- Screen readers do not read the on-screen link text for the links inserted into table cells. Instead, they read the URL text.
- Screen readers do not announce links when they are included as free-form text that is not in a table cell.
- When two links are included in text that is not part of a table cell, only one of them is considered the active link when you click on it with a mouse.
