"PDF tags and HTML tags are almost identical."

There are significant differences between HTML and PDF tags. Items like lists, tables, footnotes, indexes, tables of content, and many others either don't exist in HTML at all or are vastly different.

Bottom line: a PDF isn't anything like an HTML webpage, and neither are PDF tags.
