Remarks

You can specify how XRTable should be treated by screen readers in the exported PDF document. For this, set the control’s AccessibleRole property to Table before you export a report.

Set the PdfExportOptions.PdfUACompatibility property to PdfUA1 to conform the exported PDF document to PDF/UA specification. Then, export the report to PDF format.

The image below shows the result. XRTable.AccessibleRole is set to Table, and the screen reader treats XRTable as a table in the exported document:

You can also use XRLabel.AccessibleRole and XRTableRow.AccessibleRole to specify header cells and rows in the table.
