Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Add tags to an existing PDF

Creating a tagged document directly from an authoring application is the best way to make PDFs accessible. However, if a PDF was created without tags, you can add them using Add Tags To Document.

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Choose Advanced > Accessibility > Add Tags To Document.

After the process is complete, the PDF is tagged and—if any potential problems were encountered—the Add Tags Report appears in the navigation pane.

Note: The Add Tags To Document command removes any tags that were in the document before the command was run.
