I'm not sure what you mean by "auto tagging." If you use PDF Maker to publish to PDF, then you can specify if you want to create a tagged document or not. (Note: Not sure about other apps, but tagging while PDFing a Word doc dramatically increases the time it takes to PDF. PDF it first, then tag it, and it'll go much faster.) AFAIK, if the app prints using Distiller, there is no way to automatically tag as the PDF is created.
Another thing to consider (and I don't know if Quark can do this) is whether your graphics will include alt text. Word doesn't pick up alt text for graphics so to be 100% compliant, you have to manually add the text to all graphics in the tagged PDF. However, if the graphic is, essentially, superfluous (meaning, it's an example of what was just described, as in a procedure), then you may be able to get away with not adding the alt text. ...sue On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 9:33 AM, Lisa Gielczyk <l...@techcommpros.com>wrote: > Hi everyone.
