I converted a document from word to adobe PDF. In order to make it accessible I must remove all of the <Span> from the tag tree. Is there a way to do this without going through every tag? The document is 90 pages.

Hi,

 

Before you export to PDF try this first in Microsoft Word:

 

 

Or don't make it accessible in Microsoft Word.

 

Handle the Accesibility structure directly from Acrobat after the plain .docx file is exported.

I made it accessible in word. Unfortunately, there are links and the span is under every link. I wish there was an easy way. 90 pages is a lot to go through.
