Headings that are included on each page but do not specifically refer to content within that page or section should be moved into the page header rather than formatted as a structural heading. Screen readers do not read the page headers and footers of PDF files, so following this guideline will ensure that a screen reader user does not have to hear the heading read on every page. 1, record 1, English, - structural%20heading
