Improvements

- Regardless of the export type (role mapping, fallback, etc.), a standardized and simplified tag structure for tables is written to the PDF document.
- The content attribute of a link contains more characters.
- Footers that are exported as artifacts contain the technical information "Type" and "Subtype" in accordance with the PDF specification.
Change compared to version 1.x
In axesSlide 2.x, only the visible slides are exported; this means that hidden slides are no longer exported, in contrast to version 1.x.
Known problems
- For technical reasons, the Role mapping and reading order task pane does not support subgroups. This will also not be possible in future versions of axesSlide.
- In the Role mapping and reading order task pane there is a button to activate the master or layout view. For technical reasons, this button cannot be made accessible. Affected users can use the PowerPoint menu View > Master Views > Slide Master.
