How to Auto Tag PDFs for Accessibility
Welcome to the Accessibility Guy channel, where I strive to make the digital world more accessible to everyone. In today’s post, we will be discussing how to Auto Tag PDFs in Adobe Acrobat Pro to quickly add tags to a PDF document.
Video Guide
Auto-tagging is in Adobe Acrobat Pro. It tags your document. This helps users with disabilities navigate. It’s good for tagless documents. It creates a structure. You can change this with the reading order tool. It works with other accessibility features.
Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Go to the Accessibility button in the tools menu on the right. At the top of the menu, find the Auto Tag Document feature. Click this button. Adobe Acrobat will tag the rest of the file.
To view the tags that have been added, select the Tags panel from the left-hand menu, and expand the tags button. You can then expand some of the part tags to see the structure that has been added.
It is important to note that after you Auto Tag a PDF, it is essential to apply the rest of the accessibility features to the file.
