Full Page Borders Make the PDF a Figure When Adding Tags

Problem:
When adding tags to and untagged PDF that has a border around the whole document it creates a figure tag for the whole document.

Solution:

(before doing these steps the document must not be tagged)

  1. Select the border with the TouchUp Object Tool.
  2. Then Cut the border to remove it. In the menu bar, select Edit>Cut.
  3. Then from the menu bar, select Advanced>Accessibility>Add Tags to Document.
  4. Then Paste the border back (if needed). In the menu bar, select Edit>Paste.
  5. Using the TouchUp Object Tool, right-click (windows) or apple+click (mac) the border to get the pop-up menu and select Create Artifact...so the Screen Reader will ignore it. Zoom in, if you are having a hard time clicking on the border.
