One of the nuance PDF apps has for many years supported tagging. PDF Creator Pro previously did -- but as Karen mentioned the support is more limited to what Acrobat provides. Several years ago when I checked it did not have the table editor capabilities, etc.

Here is a link to a Nuance page that talks about some of the features.

Hey Karen, I guess I didn't read your response very carefully and I
mushed together your comments about Nuance's PowerPDF Advanced and about
Foxit Phantom Pro.

So Nuance's PowerPDF Advanced can serve as (more or less) a full
replacement for Acrobat? It can do all the tag editing and scanning and
whatnot that you might need to do with a completely untagged PDF from
some random source? It's not easy to uncover that info from their website.

I haven't looked into this software at all, and am kinda curious now!
