Re: HTML/CSS-to-PDF-engines that Produce Tagged PDFs

I'm not sure if there are any open source engines that currently do
this. I'd like to know if there are.

There are a couple companies that sell products that do this. One
example is iText:
https://itextpdf.com/

I have not personally used this product, but I have seen it used
successfully (along with careful scripting) to convert simple CSS + HTML
into a (mostly) properly tagged PDF/UA.
