Differences

Well tagged PDF:

The 'TBody' element groups the main content rows of a table in Well-Tagged PDF. It organizes the bulk of the table’s data.

It must be clearly separated from the header and footer sections, and should encapsulate all standard rows ('TR') containing data cells.


PDFUA:

In PDF/UA, the 'TBody' element is critical for accessibility as it defines the primary area where data is presented.

It should be tagged distinctly and associated with the table header and footer elements to ensure a consistent reading order for assistive technologies.

Use cases

Complex table with two rows in header, two rows in the body and one row in the table footer
