How do I remove all the tags from a PDF document using acrobat XI pro?

Correct answer philippanmei

See the images

1. Go to View menu and select Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags

2. Click on Tags panel and right click on Tags and choose Delete Tags, this will remove all the tags.

To delete particular tags and expand the tags and right click and choose delete.

Thanks

I am noticing that periodically there are tags that will not delete, the only option seems to be to clear the entire page structure and start again. Is there any way to force delete a tag?

If the tag tree looks like this, then there aren't any tags in the PDF.

good, day im from ph.
i encounter the same problem and tried all those that were suggested but didnt worked for me.
but we find ways ^_^.
heres what i did.

pdf file (one with issues) extracted into a word file.
word file- extracted into a pdf file (cleaned)

pdf file now can be extracted,

idon't know how to really fix this within the softwares itself,

i just think we need to clean/ clear files for ACROBAT, kind of a way around.

tenkyuu!!

I know your post is >2 yrs old but I had to send my sincere thanks. I was almost losing my mind over not being able to move a page and your instructions worked! Now to do some more research to find out what exactly a tag is THANKS!!

Please look here for a starter on Tags: Creating accessible PDFs in Adobe Acrobat

Tags are basically additional information on a file allowing for different devices (example screen readers) to interpret the page correctly (example: a tag on an image describes that image).

Thank you! My question is answered. I keep getting the answers emailed to me even though it says at the top of my page here that my question has been answered. The emails I get with each new post say to click "Correct" under the answer. There is no "correct" to click.

No idea how to stop this string.... but THANK YOU. MY QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED.
