Systematize Tag Pdf For Free

Tags add behind the scenes coding to a PDF. Every tag identifies the type of content and stores some attributes related to it. In addition to that, tags also arrange the document into a hierarchical structure. This adds order to the content of the PDF (like headings, paragraphs, lists, footnotes, images and tables).

For people who are blind or have low vision and use assistive technology (such as screen readers and connected Braille displays) to access information, an untagged PDF means they are missing out on information contained in the document because assistive technology cannot ?read? untagged PDFs.

To tag a PDF in Acrobat, choose Tools > Accessibility > Add Tags To Document. This command works on any untagged PDF, such as one created with Adobe PDF Printer. Acrobat analyzes the content of the PDF to interpret the individual page elements, their hierarchical structure, and the intended reading order of each page.

What does it mean to auto-tag PDF documents? In Adobe Acrobat, there's a feature that allows you to auto-tag a document that doesn't have a tags tree already associated with it. However, Acrobat wasn't designed to be an accessibility tool; it's a publishing tool.

PDF tags make it possible to identify content as headings, lists, tables, etc., and to include alternate text for images. Without tags, none of these accessibility features are possible. Unfortunately, not all PDFs are tagged, and many document authoring tools are not capable of creating them.

To inspect the tag tree, follow these steps: From the View menu, select Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags. This will display the tags in descending order from top to bottom. Review the tag tree of the PDF to ensure proper semantic structure and proper reading order.

How to test: Go to File Properties (Ctrl+D in Windows, Command+D in Mac). In the bottom left corner of the Document Properties dialog, see the ?Tagged PDF? field.
