Hi Paulo,
How much work are we talking about here? I REALLY NEED this feature so if it
is not too difficult and time consuming I would certainly look into
implementing it. Could you provide some initial pointers here?

From my initial assessment I take it that i will probably have to subclass
PdfStamper and PdfStamperImp and get at the PdfWriter object and set the
tagging  at that point.  Is that so ?

Regards,
David
