TIP 59: Basic Document Tagging

Some program features used to enhance accessible use, such as articles and reflow, don't work properly or predictably unless a document is tagged, which means it has a logically defined structure. Tags are invisible and are a part of the document's information. They define relationships among elements in the document, including tables, lists, images, and text.

Tagging can be done in the source document (if you're using a PDFMaker) or in Acrobat. To tag a document using a PDFMaker, like the one used in Microsoft Word, choose Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. The Change Conversion Settings dialog opens to the Settings tab. In the Applications Settings section of the Settings tab, select the option Enable accessibility and reflow with Tagged PDF, and then click OK. Click Convert to Adobe PDF or choose Adobe PDF > Convert to Adobe PDF. Word creates your PDF file.

Open the document in Acrobat and choose View > Navigation Tabs > Tags to display the Tags panel. Click the Tags icon to display the document's tags in a hierarchy (Figure 59). The figure shows a section of the Tags panel for a table. You see the parent tag Table contains tags for the <Tbody> (table body,) which contains tags for the table rows <TR>, which contains tags for table cells <TD>, which contains tags for column heads, and finally the cell's text.

Many document-creation programs don't offer tagging options. You can easily add tags from within Acrobat:
