Question

Multiline-Links in accessibility pdfs

Hi,

we’re using "tbklnk" for cross-references and hyperlinks. When the link text spans multiple lines, the tagged PDF view shows a separate “Verknüpfen–OBJR”-tag for each line. According to our accessibility expert, this causes issues for users navigating with a screen reader — the hyperlink is not read as a single link, but as multiple separate ones (e.g., three links if it spans three lines).

Is there a way to merge these into a single hyperlink element?

 

See attached image.
