Cannot Resolve Adobe Accessibility Error "Title - Failed" for Paginated Report

[bethwhitmer]

Hello,

We are converting our Power BI paginated report to "Accessible PDF" but we cannot figure out how to address the "Title - Failed" error that comes up when we run the Adobe Accessibility Checker. The following article explains that the title can be added via "The Name attribute of the Report RDL element."

Export Power BI paginated report to a PDF File (Power BI Report Builder) - Power BI | Microsoft Lear...

However, we have tried to add a name/title multiple ways and still cannot address this issue. Can someone provide more information on how we would add the name attribute and/or resolve this "Title - Failed" error for the report in Adobe?

Hi  @bethwhitmer ,

The “Title - Failed” error in Adobe Accessibility Checker often occurs when the title is not recognized in the PDF’s metadata/file properties. Here are the steps:

1.Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat.
2.Go to .File > Properties
3.In the tab, enter the title in the field.DescriptionTitle
4.Click to close the properties box.OK
5.In the Accessibility Checker panel, right-click on the “Title - Failed” error and select .Fix

After these steps, the title should now show a status of passed.

Thanks Caitlyn! These will be automatically generated PDFs so unfortunately we won't have the option to change it via Adobe. We need to figure out what we need to specify in the Power BI Report Builder in order for the Title to be populated in the automatically generated PDF. 

We were able to follow the instructions in the original link I provided to figure out how to specify the Author (which is a similar type of metadata) but nothing seems to work for the Title.
