Section 4: Creating tagged Adobe PDF

documents from word-processing
and desktop publishing applications
This section provides an overview of the options that are available for converting files to Adobe PDF from authoring
applications, and offers tips for preparing files for optimal tagging and accessibility before converting files to PDF.
By using the accessibility and document-structuring features (if any) that are available in an authoring application,
you can often minimize, if not eliminate, the amount of follow-up work you must do in Acrobat 7.0 to optimize the
accessibility of PDF documents.
The information in this section applies to Microsoft Office 2000 or later applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint),
InDesign CS or later, FrameMaker 7.0 or later, and PageMaker 7.0 or later. Information that is related to Acrobat
applies to both Acrobat 7.0 Professional and Acrobat 7.0 Standard unless otherwise stated.
