Remarks

Use the AccessibleRole property to specify how screen readers treat the XRZipCode control in exported PDF documents. You can change the value to Decorative or keep the default value of Figure.

A decorative element is called an artifact and is not part of PDF document logical structure. An artifact does not appear in the tag tree and is considered external to the content.

Note

Do not exclude elements that carry meaning, use this tag only for decorative elements.

Before you export your report, set the PdfExportOptions.PdfUACompatibility property to PdfUA1 to make the document PDF/UA compatible.

The image below shows the result. XRZipCode.AccessibleRole is set to Decorative, and the screen reader treats XRZipCode as an artifact in the exported document:

The AccessibleDescription property is not in effect for artifacts.
