The reason is that Acrobat Standard can create documents with tags but to edit the tags you need Acrobat Professional.

Subject: [WebAIM] Message for Community Forum: Tags Option in Acrobat X

Hi,

I have the following question or the community forum:

When I open documents in Adobe Acrobat X Standard, (this includes Word and Publisher files saved as PDFs), I try to view and manipulate the tags, however, there is no option to even click on "Tags" under View/Navigation Panes. Does anyone know why this function is not operational?

Also, if I go to Tools/Accessibility, "Add Tags to Document" is permanently greyed out, so I cannot click on this option to view/rearrange the tags.

The documents do read as "Tagged" when I view File/Properties.


Any suggestions or insights?




Best wishes,

Amber Cecil
