Subject: Question about tagged PDF
No previous message | Next message →

Hello,
I've created a web-application, and I generate pdf files. The biggest
problem is that these files are not tagged. I know I can add tags with
Adobe softvare, but it would be great if I can do it automaticaly. A
year ago I've tried to TcPdf (it is a php-based Pdf generator), but it
didn't support the tagging function. Is there any script which can
generate an accessible pdf file from a html document?
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Aron

It would be great if I could tag on Linux, or anywhere I want, without
specifically Adobe software. </offtopic>

PDF is an ISO standardized technology. You do not need "specifically Adobe software" to author "born tagged" PDF documents. There are a wide variety of non-Adobe options.

- On the desktop, tools such as Apache Open Office (including for Linux).
- Application developers can choose from a range of toolkits to produce tagged PDF documents.

Wait, I have Open Office, I haven't seen anything there for tagging.
If it's in there, I will go look again because til now I've been
booting a slow laggy virtual box for all this!

The "Tagged PDF" option in the "Exporting to PDF" dialog is documented (in a manner of speaking) here:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Getting_Started/Exporting_to_PDF

You'll find the resulting PDF includes tags in logical order (for simpler documents) automatically. Structure elements (headings, lists, tables, etc) will be present and correct based on the author's choice/ability to use appropriate styles.

Selecting PDF/A-1 in addition ensures that fonts are embedded and that, in general, the file is in good shape.

Ø Is there any script which can generate an accessible pdf file from a html document?



Did you try Apache FOP<https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/>? It might be of help.
