The "Description" given for "Tab Order" (Row and Column) options refers to "table row" and "table column".

However, this (a) does not match the Acrobat UI and (b) is just wrong, as "tables" aren't at issue in Page Properties! For more information see Acrobat's help for this feature:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7cc8.w.html

Please note in passing that there's no option for "page content order" in the "Page properties, Tab Order" dialog.

Additionally, note that the "advice" offered in this Example is simply "If needed, select a tab order option". That's not much "advice" and it's invalid besides. In fact, the only correct move for accessibility purposes is to set the tab order to "Use Document Structure".

Proposed Change:
- List item 5, change to: "Ensure Tab Order is set to "Use Document Structure."

- Remove the "Option / Description" table entirely - it's not useful. If you feel like you have to keep it (I'm not sure why), please correct the text to be consistent with actual functionality.

- While you are at it, please expand the "pages icon" graphic to provide context (ie, use a larger screen-shot that makes clear that the pages icon is to be found on the left-side panel in the Acrobat UI).; Related issues: (space separated ids); WG Notes: 2012-11-27 MC: It appears there are edits intended but not enough specificity in the resolution for me to make the edits. Need an actual edits punchlist. EDITS - change text to match: Use Row Order Moves through rows from left to right, or right to left for pages with a right-to-left binding. Use Column Order Moves through columns from left to right and from top to bottom, or right to left for pages with a right-to-left binding.; Resolution: Response to Commenter: We have updated the descriptions of Use Row Order and Use Column Order to be consistent with the current documentation, which is clearer. We have also changed the example to set the tab order to "Use Document Structure". This is an Acrobat 9 example, so there may be inconsistencies with the current Acrobat X Pro user interface, such as the additional Tab Order option. We are unable to commit to update these examples when newer versions of the tools are released, as these are only examples of how to use PDF authoring and repair tools.; (Please make sure the resolution is adapted for public consumption)
