USING ACROBAT 9 PRO EXTENDED

Accessibility, tags, and reflow

Last updated 9/30/2011

Document language

Specifying the document language in a PDF enables some screen readers to switch to the appropriate language.

Security that doesn’t interfere with assistive software

Some authors of PDFs restrict users from printing, copying, extracting, adding comments to, or editing text. The text

of an accessible PDF must be available to a screen reader. You can use Acrobat to ensure that security settings don’t

interfere with the ability of the screen reader to convert the on-screen text to speech.

For more information about PDF accessibility, see www.webaim.org/techniques/acrobat/.

About tags, accessibility, reading order, and reflow

PDF tags are similar in many ways to XML tags. PDF tags indicate document structure: which text is a heading, which

content makes up a section, which text is a bookmark, and so on. A logical structure tree of tags represents the

organizational structure of the document. Thus tags can indicate the precise reading order and improve navigation—

particularly for longer, more complex documents—without changing the appearance of the PDF.

Assistive software determines how to present and interpret the content of the document by using the logical structure

tree. Most assistive software depends on document structure tags to determine the appropriate reading order of text

and to convey the meaning of images and other content in an alternate format, such as sound. An untagged document

does not have structure information, and Acrobat must infer a structure based on the Reading Order preference

setting. This situation often results in page items being read in the wrong order or not at all.

Reflowing a document for viewing on the small screen of a mobile device relies on these same document structure tags.

Often, Acrobat tags PDFs when you create them. To determine whether a PDF contains tags, choose File > Properties,

and look at the Tagged PDF value in the Advanced pane of the Description tab.

The logical structure tree appears on the Tags tab and shows document content as page elements nested at various

levels.
