I don't use it as it isn't reliable and it just saves me time starting from scratch with the untagged PDF.

I went through the process of auto tagging a form for a chapter in my book, so went through it several times to find the pros and cons.

Cheers, Karen

It fails every time I attempt to use it. Usually throws back a crazy error, such as this PDF contains Type 2 fonts.

If anyone else has either errors or success stories about this feature, please post them to the list! I'm curious to know if anyone has gotten it to work.
