She says she's using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and doing a repair on an existing document.

It's a staff from the city. I think she's using acrobat but I'll have to check to confirm.

Are you making the pdf yourself (if so, how) or are you just doing repair? If the latter, what tools do you have?

Hi. Someone wants to alt tag graphics in a PDF, and they tried a couple of different ways, and all I got were numbers on the graphics. What is the proper way to tag a PDF?

Thanks.
