Because Word for Mac has no tagged pdf export I've been trying to create UA compliant pdfs from documents created in LibreOffice 4 (MacOS). Using LibreOffice's 'tagged pdf' export option produces pdfs that need further fixing in Acrobat Pro, specifically:
- checking structure tags which sometimes render text as 'span' rather than H1, H2 etc
- removing artifacts that often follow paragraph breaks or bullet lists
- specifying tab order to follow document structure, eg for table of contents and notes
- specifying alt descriptions for annotations: links from ToC to content and links for footnote markers to the footnote entry
- 'Role mapping for standard structure types' like div, H1 etc is circular; the roles are remapped to themselves so have to be deleted In Acrobat's role map editor.
One issue highlighted by PAC2 which I've been unable to fix is:
• 'missing ID in Note structure elements': Acrobat correctly identifies the Note elements but the ID field is empty. I can't find the format in ID is specified; it's not '1' not '#1' etc
I would greatly appreciate any insights others can offer into the format for specifying tag ID
