      hi, all:
      I worked on report that has over 80+ math formulas interwoven with text. I wouldn’t want to make each formula a file (.pdf, .jpg, .png…etc tried all) to placed into so I used 2 or 3 letter size pdfs filled with formulas and placed into frames and moved around until the correct one is shown up. No problem for print or make pdf to read.

      But we need this PDF report to be 508 tagged and it could not pass JAW reading. Reason being those hidden images outside frames are overlapping when 2 or more formulas on page are closer with each other even thought they are not visible to our eye outside frames. So they fail to pass JAW testing.

      Is there a way for Frames they placed into or Embedded into to actually crop out outside hidden images?

      What’s my other options to make it pass 508 compliance tagging?

      Thanks

      That sounds odd to me… the reader software shouldn’t be seeing anything inside those PDF files. Have you tagged each of the with Alt text using Object > Object Export Options?

      Use a raster file (tif/jpg) and select crop image data to frames in the compression tab when exporting a PDF.
