Kofax PDF Create can generate tagged PDF files from your Word documents. Tagged PDF files contain metadata which describe the document structure and the logical or reading order of the different document elements (e.g. pictures, text blocks, columns, titles), to assist screen readers.
Click the Creation Settings button in the Kofax PDF ribbon. This opens the Kofax PDF Settings for Word dialog box, whose Tags tab offers the following settings:
Make tagged PDF
Mark this checkbox for tagged PDF output.
Tag inline shape objects
Choose to have inline shapes (e.g. clip arts or flowcharts with text flowing around) included in the tag structure.
Tag textboxes
Select this checkbox to tag text boxes as well.
Tag shape objects
Mark this checkbox to tag shape objects (examples: see above).
The tagging algorithm analyzes the content of the Word document to determine the tag structure of the output PDF file. The types of document elements that are tagged include:
paragraphs
tables
table column headers
table data cells
numbered lists
bullet lists
images and clip art (tagging transfers their alternate text to the PDF)
Note
You cannot create tagged PDF files using the Print command in the File menu.
Power PDF can add tags to PDF files you acquire from other sources.
