There are many developer SDKs that can extract the tag tree of a tagged PDF (a PDF with accessibility markup), and there are many that can extract the PDF content as one big text string.
However I need to find the specific content which each tag points to in the PDF. I know Acrobat has this data because you can clearly see it in the tag tree in Acrobat (picture attached), but is this programmatically possible through an API?
thank you

It is possible when you create a plugin (written in C/C++) for Adobe Acrobat.

Can you explain a bit? Is there a code example or API for this? Why only in a plugin?

"Why only in a plugin?"
It is not possible with IAC, OLE, or Javascript.

Haha haha, Ask Adobe why. We just use what they give us.
Download the Acrobat SDK and look at the provided examples. Read the documentation.
