Hi Jon,

In Word you do not have the choice to mark running headers or footers, so that they are added as relevant content to the PDF tag tree.
You need a special conversion tool for that. For example: axesWord.

Betreff: [WebAIM] Word Documents header and footer areas not exported to PDF tag tree

Hello-



I have Word documents used as source content for PDFs. When I convert to PDF any content in the header/footer areas in Word do not get included in the tag tree. I've looked for commands to make the headers and footers be included in the PDF tag tree, but so far no luck.



Anyone know how to ensure that all content in Word documents are ported to the PDF tag tree?



Thanks,



Jon
