WORKING IN THE TAGS PANEL The Tags Panel provides the user with the ability to view the underlying structure of the PDF document. With the Tags Panel, the PDF document creator can manipulate the structure of the document as well as the informational content contained within the various tag levels. For example, a PDF document author can insert text descriptions, reclassify headings, etc. for various elements after creating the PDF document. It may be difficult to locate the specific tag for a given image (or text block) when working in a document. It may be easier to locate content and the respective tag by enabling the Highlight Content feature in the Tags Panel. The Highlight Content feature is available from the Options menu in the Tags Panel or by performing a right-mouse button click on a tag. Adding Tags from the Tag Tree Users can also add tags manually from the Add Tags to Document option under the Accessibility menu. Advanced users may find that adding tags manually results in less “clean up” than using the automated process. Open the Tags panel Click Options Select Create Tags Root Click Options again after selecting Create Tags Root Activate the following: Tag Annotations Document is Tagged PDF Highlight Content Activating Tag Annotations, Document is Tagged PDF, and Highlight Content maintains the current tree structure. This allows the use of the TouchUp Reading Order Tool or the Tags panel to add tags manually.
