Info

Note: Instead of right-clicking the Root Tag, you can create new tags by opening the Options Menu in the Tags Pane. When using this method, ensure the appropriate tag level is highlighted or selected in the tag tree. For instance, if a Heading 1 level tag is selected and you create a new tag via the Options Menu, the new tag will be added as a child of the Heading 1 tag. To place a new tag at the top level of the tree, make sure to click on or select the Tags Root first.

Section 5.4: Edit Tags/Change Tag Type

You have the ability to change any type of tag to another type - for example, you can make a simple change a Heading Level 1 Tag to a Heading Level 2 or a more radical change like a Paragraph Tag to a List Tag. In your tag tree, you can change tags in two ways:

  1. Double-click the tag and type in the new tag name directly.

Note: If you use the first method, there is no warning when an entry is mistyped. For example, if you accidentally type <J1> instead of <H1>, you will receive no error alert. Instead, any tag that is misspelled will be considered as a simple paragraph.

Section 5.1: How to Tag Manually

Tags are used in Adobe Acrobat to identify a contents value in a document so it can be read and interpreted by assistive technology. By tagging an object, we are assigning a hierarchical value to an element. For example: An <H1> tag is used for Headings Style 1 or the main heading for a section or chapter. <H2> is used for Heading Style 2, most commonly used for subsections. In a hierarchy, <H2> must be parented under <H1>. Paragraphs or <p>, but be parented under <H2> or in necessary order. Headings must always be higher than paragraphs.
