Fields of application
Tagged PDFs are essential for accessibility, so that screen reader devices for visually impaired people or reading software for users with learning disabilities can provide rich access to a PDF’s content. Tagged PDFs also enable screen reader software to offer easy navigation and accessible presentation of PDF content. Properly tagged PDF files are highly relevant in the public sector, but are gaining more relevance in all other sectors too. Legal requirements for physically impaired people and for accessibility in the information technology (such as BITV 2.0, Section 508 in the US, European Accessibility Act and EU Mandat 376, Britain’s BS 8878, and others)) impose that the public and private sector offers all informational content in an accessible form. Media service providers, insurance companies, representatives of associations and institutions, the financial sector, agencies as well as colleges and universities increasingly consider it their duty to have their informational materials available as accessible documents. On top of that, PDF tags are an effective method to improve your company’s Search Engine Optimization. The tags in the PDF file follow concepts similar to those found in HTML. Properly used tags place websites higher in the search engine rankings.
