About the Tags panel
The Tags panel allows you to view and edit tags in the logical structure tree, or tags tree, of a PDF. In the Tags panel,
tags appear in a hierarchical order that indicates the reading sequence of the document. The first item in this structure
is the Tags root. All other items are tags and are children of the Tags root. Tags use coded element types that appear in
angle brackets (< >). Each element, including structural elements such as sections and articles, appears in the logical
structure order by type, followed by a title and the element’s content or a description of the content. Structural elements
are typically listed as containers (parent tags). They include several smaller elements (child tags) within them.
Note: For more information on logical structures, see the PDF Reference Sixth Edition: Adobe Portable Document Format
Version 1.7, on the
PDF reference page (English only) of the Adobe website.
Though you can correct most tagging issues by using the Touch Up Reading Order tool, you must use the Tags panel
to address detailed tagging of tables and substructure items, such as paragraphs, lists, and sections that require multiple
languages. Add tags manually to a document in the Tags panel only as a last resort. First consider using the Add Tags
To Document command.
Note: Operations performed in the Tags panel cannot be undone with the Undo command. Save a backup copy of a
document before you begin work on it in the Tags panel.
