The following properties accept/return XRAccessibleRole values:

• XRWatermark.ImageAccessibleRole
• XRWatermark.TextAccessibleRole

Remarks

Use this table to map report controls to accessibility structure roles in exported PDF files.

The table describes the following:

• How each control behaves when the AccessibleRole property is set to Default.
• Roles you can assign to ensure that screen readers correctly identify the element’s purpose in the exported PDF document.
• Properties that specify these roles.

Tip

Decorative role means an element is treated as an artifact (outside the tag tree). Use this role only for non-informative visual elements. The AccessibleDescription property is not in effect for artifacts.
