Re: PDF: Tags not showing in the tags panel

Thanks for the welcome Ryan,

Sorry my suggestion wasn't any help. I didn't realise you were hand
tagging. Have a feeling that I have found this on hand tagged files before.
I'll check my stock of files and do some experiments to see what can be
done.

Is there much text in the part that won't tag, and does it include any
content that should be tagged as a heading or other structural feature?

Cheers,

Bim
