Info

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 5.5: Moving Tags

If you want to move a tag, you need to drag and drop it within the tag tree.

  • If the small black arrow is positioned to the left of the tag icon with a longer line, the tag will be added immediately after the current tag, at the same hierarchical level.

  • If the arrow is positioned to the right of the tag icon with a shorter line, the tag will be added below the current tag, as a nested child.

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.

Section 5.3: Editing Tags and Tag Types

Any tag can be changed to another tag type. Heading 1 can be changed to a Heading 2 or Paragraph, or anything you want. You can achieve this in two ways:

  1. Double click the tag and type in the new tag.

  2. Right click the tag, select Properties. In the Tag Tab select the Type of tag from the drop down menu.

Section 5.4: How to Move Tags

To move a tag, simply drag and drop it within the tag tree.

  • If the little black arrow appears to the left of the tag icon with a long line, the tag will be placed right after that tag, at the same level.

  • If the little black arrow appears to the right of the tag icon with a shorter line, the tag will be placed underneath that tag, nested as a child.

Section 5.5: Deleting Tags

You can delete tags by selecting them, then pressing the delete key on the keyboard. You can also right-click a tag and select Delete Tag.
