How to programatically interface with Acrobat Accessibility tools?

Question

I want to programmatically tag a text of "Hello World" in a sample.pdf and give it the H1 tag so it can be recognized as a title by a screen reader. How do I do that with code? The docs are not clear on that.

The only interface to setting accessibility is the Plug-in API, plug-ins are written in C++. You need paid-for Acrobat, not the free Reader. Plug-ins would use the PDSEdit layer, in combination with the PDFEdit layer. Not a quick or easy job.
