I do it visually with a mouse because I am hard of hearing and can't easily hear a screen reader. To check my results, I export to plain or accessible text (don't know the difference between the two) and check the results that way.

Hi Lori,

Do you do this visually with a mouse or are you able to use a screen reader when tagging?

Subject: [WebAIM] Tagging PDFs with Acrobat

Hi-

A month or two ago, I tagged a number of pdfs from within Acrobat X and it was a painful process with many errors that I couldn't resolve. More recently, I downloaded a trial version of Acrobat DC and was able to tag pdfs with no errors.

I am ready to purchase Acrobat DC but want some feedback from this group as to why I should or should not buy it.

Thank you,
