00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:08,880
Equidox by Onix. Reach everyone. Welcome to 
Webinar Wednesdays. My name is Dan Tuleta.  

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,720
I am a sales engineer here with Equidox. Many 
of you may know me from previous conversations,  

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,920
previous webinars. But thank you again for 
attending another one of our sessions. This one  

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,320
is going to be a little bit different. We do have 
a new feature that we want to cover. That is the  

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,120
ability to now support simple PDF forms. So we're 
going to cover some of the techniques around  

6
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:38,080
tagging forms, and I also wanted to cover a 
few of the "power tools" as we've labeled it.  

7
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,640
So this is going to be a slightly different 
webinar where we're going to jump around  

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,160
between a few different things. So the 
"power tools," as we're calling them,  

9
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:51,520
they don't necessarily all relate to the exact 
same document. I'm just going to jump around into  

10
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,720
a couple of different documents and show you a few 
different techniques, all of them aimed at helping  

11
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,800
you remediate documents more efficiently... 
just being a little bit quicker, minimizing  

12
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,480
the amount of clicking and steps that you have to 
take. So hopefully these will help you remediate  

13
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,320
a little bit more efficiently. With that said, 
if you are brand new to Equidox and this is your  

14
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:20,880
first time seeing the tool, please feel free 
to reach out to us at www.Equidox.co or at our  

15
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:27,280
email address EquidoxSales@Onixnet.com. We can 
definitely set up a side conversation and talk  

16
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,640
more about Equidox. Kind of getting started from 
a baseline level on exactly how everything works.  

17
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,120
But with that said, I'm going to jump 
into Equidox and we'll get started here.  

18
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:45,280
So the first thing I want to do is, I want 
to cover a few keyboard shortcuts. If you  

19
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,320
weren't aware, if you are an existing Equidox 
user, there's quite a few things that you can  

20
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,000
do in Equidox by just using your keyboard. So 
first things first, is when you arrive at a  

21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,960
document you obviously have your reading zones 
here. This is a previously tagged document,  

22
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,160
and many of you are probably aware of the zone 
detection tool which allows you to re-detect the  

23
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,120
data in the document and give yourself a better 
starting point. So something along these lines,  

24
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,280
but if you weren't aware, there is a button 
up in the upper right-hand corner. It's the  

25
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,920
icon as a lowercase “i” and this is your list 
of keyboard shortcuts. So it's a menu here with  

26
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:27,040
all of the information about those keyboard 
shortcuts. Mainly these are aimed around  

27
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,920
moving zones left-to-right up, and down. You can 
change zone types, you can set your headings,  

28
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,600
and all of this is to kind of prevent you from 
having to use all of the drop-down menus and move  

29
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,360
your mouse around back and forth. So the most 
common one that I use on a regular basis is for  

30
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,400
setting my heading levels. So if you just select 
your zone, everything right now is currently set  

31
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,920
as a text zone. You can very quickly set your 
heading levels by just hitting the corresponding  

32
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,840
number on your keyboard. So for example, if I want 
to set this element here as a heading level one,  

33
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,480
I can just hit “1” on my keyboard and that changes 
it to a heading level one. The same thing here for  

34
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,160
these heading level twos. I'm just hitting “2” 
on my keyboard, and that is very quickly changing  

35
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:18,560
them from a text zone to a heading and the 
corresponding number that you've hit. So that is a  

36
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,800
way of saving a lot of time compared to just going 
to this drop-down menu and selecting heading.  

37
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Another one that I commonly use is the arrow 
keys. So zones can be moved left and right,  

38
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,920
up and down. If you have a very tightly spaced 
document, you can use the arrow keys to help you  

39
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,600
move things around the page without having to 
click. And if you have... if you're clicking  

40
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,160
and dragging, sometimes it can get a little bit, 
you know, shaky, trying to place it exactly where  

41
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,160
you want. But when you use the arrow keys, 
you can move those zones one pixel at a time.  

42
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,400
Now there are many other zone types 
that you can use keyboard shortcuts for.  

43
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,160
For example, a table zone. If you were 
to draw a zone over the top of this table  

44
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,400
and if you just hit “t” on your keyboard, you 
can see that changes the zone type to a table.  

45
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,040
And it gives you the option to open up the Table 
Editor. So all of this is just minimizing the  

46
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,920
amount of times that you're interacting with 
the drop-down menus to change the zone type,  

47
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,280
which can really add up when you're remediating, 
you know, potentially a hundred pages in a single  

48
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:23,600
day. So all of those different drop-down menus, if 
you can eliminate that step, that really adds up  

49
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,760
to quite a bit of time being saved. And your mouse 
is not having to move as much around on the page.  

50
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Now the Table Editor also has keyboard shortcuts 
as well. If you have... if you use your Table  

51
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,600
Detection Slider to kind of give yourself that 
starting point, you can still move your grid lines  

52
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,320
around by clicking and dragging on them. But let's 
say for example if you wanted to add an additional  

53
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,280
column, you can press “c” on your keyboard or 
you can press d and r to add and remove rows.  

54
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,360
I believe it's “c” and “m” to remove columns 
as well. So if you hover over the buttons at  

55
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,920
the very top, you'll be able to see which of the 
corresponding keys to press for those shortcuts.  

56
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,440
And again, it's all just really aimed at 
simplifying your remediation. So if you have  

57
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,480
no columns, you can just press “c” three times 
and then you have your three columns created.  

58
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:22,160
Alternatively, if you have no rows, sometimes 
it's easier... oftentimes rows are set up in a  

59
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:29,680
way where they are spaced out evenly, so if 
you have for example four rows identified…  

60
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,600
You can see we have four rows here… If you select 
in that row right now, and press “r” and “r”  

61
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,480
you'll notice that it places those gridlines 
exactly in the midway point between those.  

62
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,400
So it's a little bit of a faster way of 
creating additional rows and columns.  

63
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,400
But good thing for us is we have this Table 
Detection technology that makes things really  

64
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,800
simple to remediate tables. So hopefully 
you don't have to use those as often.  

65
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,040
But they are there if you need to... if you 
need to use them. Another thing that you might  

66
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,880
not be aware of if you are an existing user, 
is our Table Summary which can be turned on  

67
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,120
in your profile. So right now I have my Table 
Summary set to “auto summarize,” where Equidox  

68
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,440
will programmatically write a Table Summary 
for you. Depending on how you set up your  

69
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:24,080
rows and columns, just to show you where that is 
located if I leave this document for a moment... 

70
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,160
if you go up to your profile... and it's in 
the upper right-hand corner. You'll notice  

71
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,800
that there's an “auto summarize” mode drop-down. 
And you can select “default to enabled...” and  

72
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,160
just make sure you save those properties. 
And then Equidox will automatically write  

73
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,240
that Table Summary for you. So that's another 
little power tool if you will, to help you save  

74
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,520
the process of having to type out a Table Summary 
every time you're setting up a table in Equidox.  

75
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Now another function that I wanted to cover 
is the ability to use a heading template.  

76
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,880
And this is somewhat reliant on the source file in 
the way that it was designed. And making sure that  

77
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,640
things are consistently styled throughout the 
document. But what you can do in Equidox, is if  

78
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,360
you have a document that is pretty consistently 
formatted in terms of the way that it's put  

79
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,160
together with the headings... In this case, you 
can set your headings very quickly. I'll set this  

80
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,200
as my heading level one, and if I were to set this 
as a heading level two, what I can do is I can  

81
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,480
press this “use as template button,” this checkbox 
here. When I select that “use as template”  

82
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:37,600
button... And if I save the page, when I move on 
to subsequent pages that I haven't yet visited,  

83
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,640
what I'll see is I already have heading level 
twos identified on those on those future pages so  

84
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:48,160
Equidox looks forward in the document. And anytime 
it sees a zone with the same styling as that  

85
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,360
heading template that you set, it will apply a 
heading level 2 class to that zone automatically.  

86
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,840
So again that is reliant on the source file 
and the consistency with which it's designed,  

87
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,640
but it is really helpful when 
you're dealing with longer documents  

88
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,720
and you want to kind of automatically 
have that heading template set up.  

89
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,240
You can just identify your heading level twos, 
your heading level threes, so on and so forth,  

90
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,080
and let Equidox look forward and apply that same 
heading template to each of those zones. And  

91
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,560
that's available through that checkbox, as I said 
before, that checkbox on the left-hand side. Once  

92
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,320
you have something identified as a heading, 
the “use as template button” will appear.  

93
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,960
You can just hit that checkbox and it will 
set up that corresponding heading number  

94
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,480
heading level to all of those features’ 
zones that occur throughout the document.  

95
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:44,400
Okay, I also want to take a look at Reading 
Order, and there's a couple of little tricks  

96
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:50,240
with Reading Order. So sometimes not all 
pages... not all PDFs are going to be  

97
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:57,920
just standard top-to-bottom Reading Order. 
Oftentimes it can be strange layouts. Really  

98
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:05,120
no way for the automated Reading Order function 
of Equidox to automatically assign the Reading  

99
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,400
Order that you would like as the remediator. 
So we do have some extra tools up our sleeve to  

100
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,000
set the Reading Order in a, you know, probably 
a faster way. So if I select this document here,  

101
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,280
and this is sort of almost like a flyer, or just 
some sort of advertisement for an Apple Watch and  

102
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,640
some new hearing aid that is compatible with that 
Apple Watch. But you can see that this is sort of  

103
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,680
designed in such a way that it doesn't really 
have a logical Reading Order applied to it.  

104
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,720
So if you use just the standard default 
Reading Order of left-to-right top-to-bottom…  

105
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,720
it does have a somewhat of a strange Reading 
Order… Where this image of the Apple Watch is  

106
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,080
read in the fifth position, and then you go over 
here to six, and then seven, and then eight,  

107
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,800
and then nine... Perhaps as the remediator, 
you would like all of this text to be read  

108
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,800
sequentially. Like in the order that you would 
like. And you might want it to be following  

109
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,280
this other text information about this Apple 
Watch, and this new function that comes with it.  

110
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,000
Maybe you want the images to be read at 
the very end of the document, for example.  

111
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,320
So the reordering function of just top-to-bottom 
left-to-right, it's not really going to work for  

112
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,840
you in this case. Because just the way 
that the zones are laid out on the page.  

113
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:25,920
So what you can do, is you can actually use what's 
called a “div” zone. And if you just draw a zone  

114
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,640
that touches these, for example, these three 
zones here, what you will what you can do is  

115
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:39,040
then hit “d” on your keyboard. So “d” will change 
it to a “div” zone. And then you can pick a master  

116
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:46,240
number. So in this case I want everything to be 
read before this image of the Apple Watch. So if  

117
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,480
I change my master number to “4,” because this is 
reading zone 5, and if I press “reorder this div,”  

118
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,880
I now have, if you notice, it's just reordered 
this selection of three zones. so I have 4.001,  

119
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:07,040
.002, and .003. We can use the decimal system 
to set our Reading Order so that we're not  

120
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,840
having to play like a merry-go-round with zones. 
Where if I move one zone, then everything that  

121
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,720
falls behind it also has to be shifted down 
another entire integer. So that can take quite  

122
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,920
a while if you imagine, touching every single zone 
on the page. But this “div” zone allows you to do  

123
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:29,920
a multi-select. If you're in a situation where the 
Reading Order reorder function for the entire page  

124
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,120
is not going to work for you, due to the layout of 
that page, so when I've set the Reading Order that  

125
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:41,040
way. And when I look at the preview, what I notice 
is that despite the layout of the page, I have all  

126
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,520
of that information that's going to be read before 
the images of the watch and the hearing aid.  

127
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:52,560
Now I can also set up, you know, my heading 
structure as well. Let's say I want this heading  

128
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:57,040
level two, this is what the actual flyer is about. 
Maybe I want this to be my heading level one  

129
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,960
so I can hit “1” on my keyboard to set that as a 
heading level one... and... but now my positioning  

130
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,760
is sort of off. If I want my heading level two to 
be read as the first element on the page, you can  

131
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,040
see that this is reading zone four currently. 
So if I were to switch this to “1” and I'd have  

132
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,160
to switch this to “2” and this to “3” and this to 
“4…” I don't wanna touch all four of those zones.  

133
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,680
So what I can do is just put a period in front of 
the four and I'll make it point four. Now 0.4 is  

134
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:28,560
of course less than one, so when I refreshed my 
preview, I now have my heading level one at the  

135
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:33,040
top of the Reading Order. And I haven't had to 
adjust any other zones on the page. And then my  

136
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,840
images, which might be the least important 
element on this in terms of accessibility,  

137
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:43,040
they're going to come at the very end. Where 
all my actual text information, all that info  

138
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,240
about the actual watch and the hearing aid, is 
going to be read first in the exact order that I  

139
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,480
would like it. And all I've had to do is adjust a 
couple of little tiny things to the Reading Order.  

140
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,080
So that's another set of tools that you have 
to help you speed things up. All right so we've  

141
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,840
covered heading templates, we've covered keyboard 
shortcuts… Keep in mind those keyboard shortcuts  

142
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,920
are in this menu up here. So there are quite a few 
others... we're not going to cover all of them,  

143
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,760
but please feel free to browse these and make 
sure that you know you're aware of at least the  

144
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,040
main ones. Because they really do speed things up. 
It just becomes second nature after a while. You  

145
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,320
will start to learn them, you know, you'll have 
at least, you know, 10 of them in your memory bank  

146
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,400
to speed things up. And it really does 
come in handy especially those headings.

147
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:35,040
Okay, I also wanted to mention the 
ability to import documents through URLs.  

148
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,560
And what that looks like is, 
if you go to the Import screen,  

149
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,720
this second tab down… As you, as 
many of you are probably aware,  

150
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,400
we of course can take documents off of our hard 
drive. So if you open up the folders on your hard  

151
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,160
drive, you can select PDFs, and drag and drop them 
into that grey area to import them. But perhaps  

152
00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:00,080
you don't have those documents on your hard drive. 
Maybe you have them posted to the website already,  

153
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:07,760
or if you've done some sort of website scan or 
audit, perhaps that audit has given you a .csv  

154
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:14,320
file or a spreadsheet full of all of the PDFs that 
are currently hosted on your website. Well, what  

155
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,600
you can do is instead of having to individually 
download potentially hundreds of those PDFs,  

156
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,360
you can just copy and paste the URLs into this URL 
field. So it's a way of, kind of, you know, you  

157
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,800
can do a bit of like a bulk import. And you don't 
have to plug up your own computer with a bunch of  

158
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:36,880
PDFs that are ultimately going to be just reposted 
to your website. So if you have a PDF that has got  

159
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:44,000
a public-facing URL, you can just copy that URL, 
and then you can just paste it into this window  

160
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,080
here. And if you have multiple URLs, you can paste 
multiple URLs. You just have to put one per line.  

161
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,480
So if you just jump down to another line 
you'll be able to paste as many as you'd like.  

162
00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:00,480
And then when you press “import,” the process 
is very much the same as the standard upload of  

163
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:06,320
the PDF. Except Equidox is just going out onto 
the world wide web to retrieve that PDF. And it  

164
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,800
will import it, you know, just the same as if 
it was coming straight off of your hard drive.  

165
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,480
So it's just taking a few seconds there to import. 
And the other thing is that if you are importing  

166
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,040
documents, you don't have to sit here on this page 
and watch them import. You can be in other areas  

167
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,680
of the application. So in the event that you're 
importing, you know, 20 documents at a time,  

168
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,400
you can be elsewhere and just, 
you know, working on other things,  

169
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:38,080
and Equidox is still importing in the 
background. Okay great! I also wanted to  

170
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:46,480
touch on the Images Tab. Now we have had a 
webinar dedicated specifically to images,  

171
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,560
but I can't emphasize enough how important 
this Images Tab is. So when you have a document  

172
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:59,040
that contains a lot of images or repetitive 
images, what you can do is use this Images Tab  

173
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:05,280
to evaluate your alt text. If there's already any 
existing alt text associated with that document,  

174
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,320
you'll see all of that populate her. So this 
document, for example, it seems to have a very  

175
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,160
repetitive image placed throughout it on multiple 
pages. If we scroll down here, we can see that  

176
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,360
really none of these have alt text, except for 
this image here. So for whatever reason, this one  

177
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:27,440
image of the many in this document contains alt 
text. So I'm able to edit my alt text, add it into  

178
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:34,880
the document image by image. If I'm familiar with 
the content, I have that flexibility to just, you  

179
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,600
know, type in my alt text if I'd like to, straight 
from this Images Ta. You can really streamline  

180
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,680
your process, and then alternatively, if you're 
dealing with documents, you know, for example,  

181
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:49,840
like financial reports or the annual report, it 
doesn't necessarily contain any critical images,  

182
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,840
but maybe it's the same logo or something 
that repeats on every single page... That can  

183
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:03,040
be very redundant and not all that valuable to an 
end-user to hear the same repetitive alt text read  

184
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,480
page after page after page. So what you can do in 
that case, is of course use the “hide all zones”  

185
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,520
and then unselect “visible.” And what that 
does is artifact those images so that you do  

186
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,400
not have to then provide alt text for them. Now 
in this specific document, these images seem to  

187
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,280
be very important. They all have context within 
the document itself. So I would not recommend  

188
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,320
doing that in this case. So, but if you do have 
a document that does contain a lot of decorative  

189
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,880
images, it's certainly something that's helpful 
to be able to just artifact them all at once.  

190
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:41,760
Okay, so the other thing that I wanted to maybe 
mention quickly was the ability to merge. Some  

191
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:50,320
merging documents or merging elements across 
pages. If we just, for example, if we wanted to  

192
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:59,840
merge two things together, like if we have 
a paragraph here and that paragraph actually  

193
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,320
continued over to the second column, if 
we look at it with two separate zones…  

194
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:14,000
(my internet's being a little slow... there we 
go!) ...two separate zones is going to give us  

195
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,160
of course two separate... two separate text zones 
on our preview. And keep in mind that we are just  

196
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,680
pretending that this is a continuation of the same 
paragraph across two columns, but if you want to  

197
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,760
merge two paragraphs together, what you can do is 
hit the “merge” checkbox and the default setting  

198
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:40,080
is to merge with the previous text zone. So if 
you have it synced up with the Reading Order,  

199
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:46,000
in this case reading zone three will merge into 
reading zone two. And if you look at the preview,  

200
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,600
that will join those two paragraphs together. 
Now you have other options as well. So if you  

201
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,760
don't necessarily have the exact Reading 
Order that you need for that page, if there  

202
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,280
is something disrupting that Reading Order, 
so if we just go to the reorder very quickly…  

203
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,680
So you can see now I have Reading Zone 2, this 
is reading zone 3, and this is reading zone 4…  

204
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,000
Well if I want to merge these two zones together, 
again what I can do is, I can choose the “merge”  

205
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,640
checkbox and merge with a text zone on this page. 
And then that will give me another drop-down menu  

206
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:26,560
that has all of the viable candidates to merge 
with. So if I just select the target zone that  

207
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,920
I would like to merge with from this drop-down 
menu, that will still complete the merge  

208
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,720
as expected. So you still have that paragraph 
merged together. And then this is your caption  

209
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,120
of that image that was disrupting the 
Reading Order. But you're still able to  

210
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:46,880
merge around it if you need to. The same thing can 
be done across multiple pages as well, so if you  

211
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:54,000
were on another page and you needed to merge... if 
there was a paragraph breaking at the page break,  

212
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:00,800
what you can do is, you can select that zone and 
you can still merge it across pages. You would  

213
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:08,320
just choose the third option to merge to a text 
zone on a specific page. It's a text on page “...”  

214
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,600
So when you select that, it gives you a drop-down 
menu with all of your viable pages that you can  

215
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,960
merge with. So if I were to choose page 5, for 
example, I can then hit the drop-down and I see  

216
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,760
all of those merge options in this drop-down. 
So all of those viable candidates to merge with  

217
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:29,760
from that previous page, if I were to select that 
one, that will complete the merge. There's no way  

218
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,640
to preview that at this time because we're just 
looking at a single page, so you're only going  

219
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:40,400
to see the data that's located on this page if you 
were to press the preview. But when you export the  

220
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,680
document, it will have completed that merge across 
pages. And that can be done with different zone  

221
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,960
types as well. So whether it's a table, whether 
it's a list, you have flexibility in different  

222
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,240
zone types to merge them together. Because with 
PDFs being broken down at individual page levels,  

223
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:03,680
it's very common for there to be a situation where 
a paragraph, or a list, or a table gets cut off on  

224
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,800
one page and picks up on another page. So you 
that “merge” feature is really handy to have  

225
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,880
as another power tool to use. Okay 
so we have about 10 minutes left,  

226
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,680
and I wanted to make sure that I 
saved plenty of time for forms.  

227
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:24,080
So if we just jump back into the documents 
list, I have a form in here. And this form here  

228
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:34,240
is a simple form. And if I just jump into 
the document. What is important for forms  

229
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,400
is that, in terms of Equidox, is that the form 
is pre-prepared. And what I mean by that is that  

230
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:47,840
there are already fields created in the PDF. So 
if you notice on this form here, I have fields  

231
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:54,640
that are already present. And these are static 
in Equidox as of right now. So we're not able  

232
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:00,480
to remove these or change the field type. But 
what you have is the ability to add the tooltip.  

233
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:07,440
So there are two modes for end-users who are 
interacting with forms. There is a Reading Mode  

234
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:13,120
where they are reading the actual text elements 
in the form. So the headings and the text. Like  

235
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:17,680
if these, if you would call these field labels, 
for example, the labels for all of the different  

236
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,800
fields... all of the headings... they're going to 
be able to read through that form just the same  

237
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:28,720
as if it were a standard PDF document. But when 
they change over into what's called Edit Mode,  

238
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,800
when they're editing the form and filling in the 
actual fields, the ability to read the headings  

239
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,520
and all of the text elements that is no longer 
available to them. They're simply interacting with  

240
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:46,080
the fields themselves. So it's very critical that 
when you are producing an accessible PDF form that  

241
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,760
the fields have what's called tooltips. And those 
tooltips can be found over here on the left-hand  

242
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:58,000
side. Now chances are if you haven't made any 
effort to make that form accessible your tooltips  

243
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:05,360
might be blank to begin with. If you've done any 
preflight work in another tool to make the form  

244
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:11,680
accessible, and you've added tooltips, perhaps in 
Acrobat, for example, you might see the tooltips  

245
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,160
that can be imported into Equidox. And they 
will be populating this text field right here.  

246
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:21,760
However, if you are just remediating it from 
scratch what's important is that you add the  

247
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:28,640
tooltips in. And making sure that you are being 
very descriptive of what the end-user is supposed  

248
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:34,080
to be filling into that field. So for example, if 
you have a form like this if I turn my little...  

249
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,760
if I turn those off for a second. If you 
have a field like this where you have...  

250
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,000
it's asking for your name. But there's two 
different fields for the name. There's a  

251
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:50,560
first name and a last name. So if you just were 
to type in “name” as your tooltip, the end-user  

252
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,680
who's filling out this form might be inclined to 
type out their full name into this form field.  

253
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,720
And then they get over into this form field, and 
if this one is also labeled just “name,” they  

254
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,040
might be confused as to why they're being asked 
to provide their name twice. So it's important  

255
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,840
that you're giving them the instructions that 
they need to actually accurately fill out this  

256
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:20,320
form. So a good tooltip, in this case, would 
be “enter first name” and in this case “enter  

257
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,520
last name.” So the “enter” is just indicating 
that they're supposed to type out their name.  

258
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,560
So giving them that instruction is just a nice 
thing to do, but then you're also very clearly  

259
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,640
labeling it with the right tooltip of “last name.” 
We're not looking for the middle initial... we're  

260
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,280
not looking for the first name... we are simply 
looking for the last name in this specific field.  

261
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,600
The same thing can be done here for email 
so you can type in “enter email address.”

262
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,120
The same for down here where you have phone 
numbers. If you just left this tooltip as  

263
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:59,120
“phone number,” well which phone number is it? 
Many people have multiple phone numbers... my  

264
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:05,120
office number... my cell phone... my work cell 
phone... my home number…. so it's important to  

265
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:10,240
make sure that you're being very descriptive here 
where you're telling them to “enter phone number.”  

266
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:22,240
Or enter “home phone number,” rather. And 
in this case, enter “mobile phone number.”  

267
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,640
The same thing can be applied to checkboxes as 
well. So if it's a question similar to this,  

268
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:36,480
where they're being asked, would they like... how 
would they prefer to be reached... It's helpful to  

269
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,840
give them that description. Don't just leave it as 
“check for phone” or “check for email…” enter in  

270
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:49,440
“select for home phone.” In fact, you 
can even do one better, you “select  

271
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:58,880
if you prefer to be reached via home 
phone…” “mobile phone…” or “email.”  

272
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,760
And the great thing is that since we 
have this text, we can just copy it  

273
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,200
and I can actually paste that into the 
other tooltips to just save yourself the  

274
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,640
typing. And then you would just finish 
it off by typing in “mobile phone.”  

275
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:19,520
And the same thing here for email. So “select if 
you prefer to be reached via email.” So you're  

276
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,240
able to add those tooltips very quickly. If you've 
done this in Adobe Acrobat before, you probably  

277
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:30,000
know that you spent a lot of time right-clicking 
on fields, going into the field properties, trying  

278
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,360
to navigate to the tooltip section, entering in 
the tooltip. There's four or five extra clicks for  

279
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:41,120
every single field. And you know it does really 
add up, especially when you're dealing with a lot  

280
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:46,560
of forms, or forms that have a lot of pages, and a 
lot of fields on them. I recently saw a form that  

281
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:53,680
had over 400 fields on a single page, so if you're 
having to do three or four extra clicks per field,  

282
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,720
times 400 on a single page, you're talking 
about something that would take literally all  

283
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:04,240
day in Acrobat. You can really cut down that time 
dramatically in Equidox by simply just being able  

284
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:10,560
to quickly navigate from field to field to field 
and typing in that tooltip that it's asking for.  

285
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:18,880
Now the other thing to keep in mind with forms, 
is that Reading Order can be quite complicated  

286
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:25,040
because of the way that it's laid out. Of course, 
the name, if I turn my Reading Order back on,  

287
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,000
if it's just following that 
standard left-to-right top-to-bottom  

288
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:37,200
layout, you'll notice that we go from Reading 
Order three over to reading Reading Order four,  

289
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,960
five, six, seven. This is not really a great 
layout. And if we were to set this up as a  

290
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,400
multi-column layout, it would not be great 
either, because you would be following down  

291
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,640
the left-hand column, for example, and you would 
end up all the way down here before they even  

292
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,080
entered in their mobile number, for example. So 
this is another opportunity to use that “div”  

293
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:02,240
zone as I was showing you before. So if you 
would like, for example, your first name,  

294
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,680
and you're linking those two fields together, 
you can use that div zone as I've done before,  

295
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,600
to reorder this in a more efficient way. Or 
you can also use the decimal system as well.  

296
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:19,360
So for example, this is reading zone three and I 
want my first name to directly follow it...Well  

297
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:25,760
if I want that to directly follow it, I could 
just put a 3. and make that 3.5. And then I  

298
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,960
can make this 3.8, so on, and so forth. You can 
kind of just set up your Reading Order using that  

299
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,080
decimal system to just save you a lot of steps, 
a lot of clicks. Because you're not having to  

300
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:42,160
adjust every single zone on the page. You can just 
quickly identify where those Reading Order needs  

301
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,120
to be adjusted, and squeeze that zone in exactly 
where it needs to go by using the decimal system.  

302
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,000
So it's really just the nature of forms and the 
way that they're laid out. You don't really have  

303
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,360
a standard Reading Order on a document like this. 
So it's just another tool that you have to speed  

304
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,560
things up a bit. I also keep in mind that there 
are two preview buttons in the upper right-hand  

305
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,200
corner. Now everyone is probably familiar with 
the standard preview button. That looks like a  

306
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:13,200
computer monitor, but we also have this laptop 
screen. This is a fixed preview. And when you  

307
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,960
press this--I haven't finished off this form-- yet 
I have other tooltips that I would need to enter.  

308
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:26,960
But if you notice in those specific fields that 
I actually entered the tooltip for, you can see  

309
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:32,000
the tooltip that you have entered in. So this 
is an HTML rendering of that form. But you're  

310
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,800
able to confirm your work by seeing the tooltips 
that you've added for each one of those fields.  

311
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:42,480
So this is something that you can use really... 
it's meant for form use. You can see that layout  

312
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:48,960
in that HTML format. Okay, so we are right up 
against the clock here. It is just about to be  

313
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:55,520
2:30. So I just want to thank everyone again 
for attending our Equidox Webinar Wednesday.  

314
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:02,560
And if you, again, if you have any questions or if 
you would like to set up a personal demonstration  

315
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:07,840
to talk more about how you might use Equidox 
and how it might fit into your organization,  

316
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,120
please don't hesitate to reach out. We are 
happy to chat anytime. So we can be reached  

317
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:21,680
at EquidoxSales@Onixnet.com. Or really easy to 
find through our website www.Equidox.co. So please  

318
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:28,400
don't be a stranger. Feel free to reach out. And 
also if if any of this was maybe too complicated,  

319
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,960
because we were kind of, we weren't really 
starting with a natural workflow of remediation,  

320
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,840
we do have a lot of other webinars that we've done 
and those are also available on our website. So if  

321
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,480
you'd like to view those and kind of take a deeper 
dive into tables, or lists, or heading structure,  

322
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,600
we definitely have a lot of 
information available on our website.  

323
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,520
So please feel free to view those whenever 
you'd like also. With that said, thank you  

324
00:30:51,520 --> 00:31:03,840
again everyone for coming and we will see you 
soon in about four weeks for our next webinar.
