Seems like this may be the next step. I'd love to see it soon!

Are you suggesting we tag based on the output from our Extract API?

Not really. I'm suggesting a new service that creates a tag structure in an existing pdf so that it can be utilized by screen reader software more easily.

Autotagging in this context would be worthless and deceptive. If tagging could be made automatically, it wouldn't have been necessary to invent tagging at all.

 

Autotagging arguably has some role as the first step in a labour intensive manual process, followed by careful review and checking; it surely has no proper role in a direct delivery workflow. This would also open up legal claims that service providers were claiming compatibility with ADA and other comparable legistlation, by delivering tagged but noncompliant content. (I am not a lawyer).
