Two syllabi, authored in PreTeXt, have been donated by Sean Fitzpatrick.
I have converted them with the new conversion to PDF, results attached. They
should be accessible, but I have not done a check.
The tables of scores and letter grades needs to be narrow - working on that. On
the other hand, Table 9.1 in 1410 looks pretty good.

Hi Rob. The 1410 syllabus has three tables, and the 3650 syllabus has one table. Adobe gives the same complaint about all four tables: no header.
No other complaints from Adobe.

Thanks very much, Joseph. I'll investigate where there seems to be headers, and
we will also need to address author education for the case of no authored headers.

I'll admit that I don't know at all about table headers. I know a table has a title.
If the header means having a top row that identifies columns, this is present in Table 9.1.
However, if there is a PreTeXt attribute to identify the top row as a header, I was unaware of it.

@header="yes" on the first #row?
At a minimum, look at source in sample article for examples with column headers
and confirm?
