Creating accessible PDF files
If you need to provide recipients with an accessible document, you can create a tagged PDF file. The tags are stored in the PDF file and are used by screen readers, or other assistive technology, to read the document. The document tags provide a logical structure that enables the document to be read in the proper order by the screen reader.
When you create an accessible PDF file, WordPerfect analyzes the document content and automatically applies tags to individual pages, document elements (such as paragraphs), tables, and images. The purpose of these tags is to indicate the intended reading order of each page.
