Adobe Tags

  • Open PDF in Adobe Acrobat (Full Version, Not Adobe Reader) 
  • Go to right panel - All Tools
    • Click on - Prepare for accessibility (you may need to click on view more)
    • Click on - Automatically Tag PDF
  • Once Auto Tagging is completed, a panel should pop-up on the right side of the screen
    • Double Click on the top tag usually named <Document> and change tag name to <H1> - this is now a Heading 1 tag. 
    • Remove any tags listed as table - this seems to be an issue for some scanned PDFs that include music notation
  • Save PDF document
