[NFBCS] Tagging PDF's

[Lewis Wood]

I do not know if this would help, but when I could see.
I used Acrobat pdf editor. I used to print to another pdf file to bypass any password protection on it or ownership rights.
Next I used their auto form generator. I would then go through those new form fields and rename them if needed and put formatting on them.

I bet the form editor will allow you to tag the pdf internally with proper accessibility tags.  A lot of work, but if it is a common form you need that your company uses, this could be a valid option.

A lot of work for one offs though.

I took a webinar last year, I think put on by Freedom Scientific, and they said at that time that a blind person could not tag a PDF because critical parts of the process are not accessible.  And the tagging process sounded complex, much more so than I would have thought.

Hello everyone,
Is there anyone hear who has tagged a pdf without sited help? İ've heard however that screen reader users couldn't tag the pdfs themselves, is this true? So I can't go into acrobat and tag a previously untagged PDF, because the tag tree is inaccessible?
Thank you
