I am using the most recent desktop Acrobat DC (update within the past week) on Mac High Sierra.
I have a 5 page PDF document I am attempting to remediate. After several passes trying to get uncooperative text into the correct order in the Content and Tag panels, I re-ran the report. The document is still returning the same "Non-tagged" content flags. Its as if I've done no work at all!!
Switching to the Reading Order Tool, I then had to re-tag every page, which showed that all my meticulous work done in the Tag panel resulted in empty tags. I had to delete the ones I'd made and re-organize the generated tags.
Doing it this way is fine, but the trouble is that using this method would not apply anything to Pages 2 and 5, half of Page 4, and only the artifact footer on Page 3. Just to be clear, IT DID WORK only on page 1 and some of 3 and 4.
Much of the info at Training resources | Adobe Acrobat accessiblity is redundant description rather than explanatory help. (Many are recursive links back to its own page.) It would make sense to include on this page: Repair tag structure accessibility | Adobe Acrobat DC PDF but no.
Please let me know what I can try to do to fix this.

Did you try using the new and improved <grin> Autotag Document utility in the Acceessibility panel?
Our shop has had mixed results with it.
Generally, the results can rescue a job without needing to go into the Contents panel. It does a very good job tagging:
FYI, one of the easiest ways to correct the reading order is to do it in the Order panel first. Anything you do there, including changing the RO and retagging items, will be reflected in the Tags panel and in the Content panel (somewhat). But changes don't go in the other direction, from Tags to the Order panel.
One more suggestion: you can bring up the Order panel from the Tags panel and work on both simultaneously. When in the Tags panel, go to Options / Reading Order.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Bevi, but I've tried most of those things (under the guide of 'After several passes…'). The core issue is the inability to add tags. Ordering seems to work, but is mostly irrelevant at this point since I cant apply new tags to roughly half the document.
To clarify for Khushbu:
I am planning to start over with a new copy of the PDF and follow Bevi's steps from his 'FYI' paragraph. (Starting over was my last resort).
Attaching PDF as is after 6+ hours of attempts. Refer to the page numbers above to identify where the problems lie.
