    Options Menu in Adobe Acrobat

  3. Go back to the Options Menu and create Table Header tags or <TH>. Highlight your Table Headers one by one and place them into their own <TH> tags.

  4. Go back to the Options Menu again and create Table Data tags or <TD>. Highlight your Table Data one by one and place them into their own <TD> tags.

  5. Create Table Row Tags or <TR> for each of your table rows. So if you have two table rows (including header rows, you need to make two <TR> tags. Place all of the <TH> tags in one <TR> tag and all of the <TD> tags in the other <TR> tag.

  6. Create a Table tag and place your <TR> tags inside it. Now open up all of your tags to be sure they are in order. If a data cell is skipped, be sure it is tagged correctly and get it into the right place in the hierarchy.
