Hi,
I am trying to generate a pdf from a report that meets the accessibility standards.
For this, I have to add headings so that the pdf is well indexed and can jump from one location to another.
The only thing that I found regarding this is the DocumentMapText field that I set on the Groups.
This creates a nice Bookmarks section for the document but doesn't mark the titles as headings.
Can you point me in the right direction on how could I mark the titles/subtitles on my report as headings?
Thank you.

Hello Mel
Heading in PDF documents is text that indicates a document title or section. H1 headings would be the main title, H2 headings would be "chapters, H3 – H6 are sub-headings. Telerik Reporting is a reporting tool, which is geared towards data manipulation, and not towards text formatting, so we do not generate such headings.
The DocumentMap functionality however can be used for any report item and not only groups. For example if you have ReportHeader and GroupHeader sections, you can set their DocumentMapText property and they would be added in the document map.
