Kofax Power PDF Create can generate tagged PDF files from your Microsoft Word documents. Tagged PDF files contain metadata to describe the document structure and the logical or reading order of different document elements (such as pictures, text blocks, columns, titles) to assist screen readers.

In Word, on the Kofax PDF tab, click Creation Settings to open the Kofax PDF Settings for Word dialog box. The following settings are available on the Tags tab.

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)
