Is it REALLY that difficult to add Tagging to an existing PDF? Let me explain again what I am attempting to do - I have an existing image-based PDF document into which I insert another page, hidden OCR text and bookmarks using the PdfStamper class, however I also want the final output to be a "Tagged" PDF file.
If tagged pdf files cannot be generated using the PdfStamper class, then what other options exist to accomplish ? There must be some work-around ?
