Distiller 5.0.5 and tagged PDFs

Is it possible for Distiller 5.0.5 to create tagged PDFs? I can't see where this is specified in the options. Thanks.

Tagging has to be done in the application that creates the PS file. That is what PDF Maker does for OFFICE products. With other products you can create a tag by adding an EPS file with the appropriate PDF Marks contained within it. At least that is what used to be done for transitions and such back with AA3. I assume you can still do that. It might be possible to edit the PS file and add the PDF Marks which is what Distiller uses to tag a document. You would have to look for the PDF Marks manual at Adobe to manage this. It has been a long time since I have played with PDF Marks.

Compress tagged PDF from commandline w/ Acrobat Pro X or Distiller

Hi,
I'd like to use acrobat pro or distiller from the commandline to open a tagged pdf, optimize/compress it, and then close it. It would be helpful to run the accessibility reports this way too, but is not essential. I've read through the distiller API and javascript API and can't find information on how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated—thanks,
Jack

Printing my PDF with File name and Tags Stamped on

To Forum,
Possibly not a completely Apple related query, but if anyone know it would be great.
id like to print a PDF on my MBP with the File name and Tags applied to it stamped on the paper copy... or come to think of it, stamped on the PDF copy which i then print out with those stamps on. Either way will do. Any ideas? Its not immediately obvious when i look at the Printing Prefs box.

This is an option built into various apps - Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Office.
There are "PDF Utils" that do this on PDFs one at a time. Can't find a specific one for Macs, but found 2 for Windows.

Tagged PDF, Visual Studio and Dynamic PDF

I am a noob with the Indesign but I have hands on experience with the Photoshop and Illustrator.
I am trying to create a tagged pdf form which will be used as a receipt after the web application is complete and the information are entered into that tagged pdf using Dynamic PDF.
I created the form with information like
Name Textbox
Address Textbox and so forth.
Dynamic pdf just prints the data and it doesn't matter if its textbox or not.
So, any suggestions on how to tag the pdf properly so that it read all the information in the form along with the information printed by the dynamic pdf?
I am using cloud indesign cc.

Hi,
Please follow the following steps to tag pdf manually-
1. Choose Window > Utilities > Tags to display the Tags panel.
2. Choose View > Structure > Show Structure to display the Structure pane, to the left of the Document window.
3. Choose Add Untagged Items from the Structure pane menu.
4. Select a page item in the document.
5. Select a tag in the Tags panel.
Note the following suggested uses for certain imported tags:
Artifact : The Artifact tag lets you hide page items, such as page numbers or unimportant objects, when viewing the exported
PDF file in Reflow view, which displays only tagged items; see your Adobe Acrobat documentation. This is especially useful for
viewing PDF files on a handheld device or in other PDF readers.
Cell : Use this tag for table cells.
Figure : Use this tag for placed graphics. The Figure tag is applied to all untagged graphics placed in your document when you
choose Add Untagged Items.
Paragraph tags (P, H, H1–H6) : These tags have no effect on the exported PDF text when viewed in Reflow view. However,
they can be useful in some situations when exporting a PDF file to HTML format.
Story : Use this tag for stories. The Story tag is applied to all untagged text frames when you choose Add Untagged Items. For
example, suppose you have an InDesign document formatted with three paragraph styles: Head1, Head2, and Body. First,
map these paragraph styles to the H1, H2, and P tags, respectively. Next, export to PDF. Finally, when you export the PDF
document to HTML or XML in Acrobat, the paragraphs tagged as H1, H2, and P will display appropriately (such as with large
bold letters in H1) in a web browser.
i hope this will help you, in case not then let me know.

Distiller 5.0.5 and Office 2000 - creating pdf not working

I am using XP Home Edition SP2, Distiller 5.0.5, and Office 2000
Can not make PDF with 2000 WORD or 2000 EXCEL.
- WORD: file > print > Distiller results in the conversion hanging up. The file can not be deleted from the print que until the computer is restarted. I can not create a postscript file by unchecking the "don't send fonts" check box and check "print to file". Doing so results in a "prn" file.
I can create PDF with PUBLISHER if I create a postscript file by unchecking "Dont sent fonts", checking "print to file", adding "ps" at the end of file name, then clicking on the ps file, does result in a pdf file
I can create pdf files with file > print > distiller in PhotoShop and PaintShop Pro

After creating the PRN file, open the file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, then look for AcroTray running in the background. If not, then you need to start it (it is in the Acrobat 5/Distiller folder).

IDCS6/IDCC MACOSX 10.6 and up: Inability to create tagged PDF during "Export PDF" in Data Merge

I have a rather odd question concerning an obscure feature of InDesign but have to ask it concerning a somewhat over-engineered solution to an ongoing problem. I will try to give an abridged version but forgive me if I ramble...
I have a solution that splits a large PDF based on bookmarks in the document. The InDesign file doesn't use bookmarks itself; but has paragraph styles that have been tagged using the expert tagging feature of the paragraph style. Once in Acrobat, I am able to make new bookmarks from structure and voila... bookmarks that were based on tags.
For this solution to work, a checkbox in the General window of the export PDF dialog box called "Create Tagged PDF" needs to be checked
This checkbox is normally available when exporting PDFs from InDesign. However, when attempting to export PDF from the Data Merge panel, the dialog changes.
The parts highlighted in green I expect to change; but the red change is unexpected and for my purposes, fouls up what I'm trying to do.
I should stress that if the data merge file is merged to one large new InDesign file, then this problem doesn't happen. However, the amount of data that I'm dealing with (tens of thousands of records) would take too much time and be double-handling.
Is this greying out of the checkbox a glitch; is it intentional; or am I missing something?
Concerning alternative ways of making bookmarks from a data merged PDF:
I have tried using manual bookmarks applied to form fields and only the actual words that were made as a bookmark appear in the PDF;
Merging to a new InDesign file is not an option given the record lengths that I work with (from 10,000 - 100,000)
Acrobat does have a way of automatically tagging an untagged document; however the results have been less than desirable so far.
There are a few third party applications for Acrobat that allow dynamic bookmarks based on type in certain positions, but many of these applications are Windows based. Mac compatible PDF-SAM looks promising but have had no testimonials on whether or not tasks like mine are possible.
Colin

Can also confirm that too Uwe. I thought those particular issues may just have to do with using the default [High Quality Print] setting... but no, Create Acrobat Layers and Include Hyperlinks can't be done regardless of how sophisticated the options within the export Adobe PDF dialog box (during data merge) is.
I know this is a user-to-user forum but from time to time I see Dov Isaacs on here and was hoping he may have some insight. Even if the answer still remains that it can't be done, at least I can then consider more alternatives for this uncanny and frustrating procedure.

Is it possible to create a tagged pdf with apple pages?

Not sure if possible and any tutorials would be appreciated.

> Is it possible to create a tagged PDF with Apple Pages?
Short answer: No, Apple chose at the introduction of Mac OS X to support only Adobe PDF 1.3 and those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include device-independent transparency, but not those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include Adobe XMP for XML markup of the page description program.
Long answer: Adobe PostScript is a page description programming language, unlike Xerox Interpress which is a page and document description programming language. In other words, Adobe PostScript is a streaming or sequential rendering model that cannot simulate the behaviour of a bound book where the user can turn from any one page to any other page arbitrarily. Adobe introduced Acrobat Distiller in 1993 in order to convert Adobe PostScript page description programs into Adobe PDF page and document description programs that share the same fundamental functionality as Xerox Interpress.
Conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe PDF buys one nothing but page-independent processing. Specifications published by Adobe in 1993 state how the SFNT Spline Font file format used by Apple and Microsoft for Unicode imaging has to be re-encoded into PostScript font program dictionary format (PostScript so-called simple fonts with less than 256 glyphs and PostScript so-called complex fonts (CID fonts) which are simple fonts tiled into a single superfont). All that is left is the glyph identifiers, and per Unicode Specification version 1.0 the glyph identifiers are private and font-dependent, so no character information can be inferred.
ISO 19005:2005 PDF/A is a superset of ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3. The problem with ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3 is the same as above, that is, Adobe PostScript cannot encode the file format of the International Color Consortium, which has to be re-encoded to PostScript CSA Color Space Arrays and PostScript CRD Color Rendering Dictionaries. It is possible to encode the ICC file format directly in PDF 1.3 and higher, as specified in ISO 15930 and ISO 19005, but because PDF encodes only the glyph identifiers that are the output of the SFNT file format, and not the UCS Universal Character Set input and the settings for the feature selectors in the font file, ISO 19005:2005 has come under criticism for failing to support search in complex scripts.
ISO 19005:2011 is supposed to address the shortcomings by saving the UCS input into the PDF itself, but in this case it is impossible to use Adobe PostScript and Adobe Acrobat Distiller as intermediates to Adobe PDF. So in order to drive ISO 19005:2011 Adobe would have to ditch Adobe Acrobat. I am not sure if there is software that implements ISO 19005:2011, but I noted that the Apple iBook Store does not accept PDF at all. Personally, I struggle to think of how to explain to endusers the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF formats (there is PDF/E, PDF/UA and whatever else), and the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF versions of these formats (there is ISO 19005:2005, ISO 19005:2011, ISO 15930 all the way back to 1999/2000 in God knows how many versions at this point).

How to set tagged pdf settings for batch process

Framemaker doesn't allow me to set tagged pdf settings without opening a file (i.e. *.mif/*.fm/*.book).We are using .MIF files to generate PDF in an automated process.( .MIF files will be sent to FrameMaker as a batch file using DZBATCHER then it it uses distiller to produce the PDF).
How can I set tagged PDF settings for this kind of operation?

Tagged PDF info is a document level property, i.e. you need to define it in the MIF. Check your MIF manual for: <DPDFStructure and <DPDFStructureDefined statements.
Note: If you're using any FM version earlier that FM9 and not the FrameServer version, please read your EULA very carefully (Section 2.2 - 2.4) concerning automated creation of PDF files. With FM9, the restriction apparently has been loosened to only how the process is intiated (Section 2.3).
Copies of the EULAs can be seen here: http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/

How can I edit text in a tagged PDF?

I have created an accessible test form in Acrobat Pro X. Now that it has all been tagged and reading order touched up, the client wants to change the text. Is there any way to edit text at this point or do I have to create an entirely new tagged accessible form (very time consuming)?
I have tried:
TouchUp Reading order - when I select the block of text, nothing lights up on the TouchUp window
Form > Edit Document Text - I can place a cursor but it won't do anything.
Thank you for any help!

For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.
Be well...

How can I create an accessible tagged PDF in Illustrator CS6?

I have put alt text on the slices but when I save the file as a PDF it isn't tagged. How can I use these alt tags to make the PDF accessible? How can I tag the text in the Illustrator file so it is tagged in the PDF?

I do wonder why there are instructions on how to add alt tags in Illustrator, and they only work if you create HTML. It sounds like Illustrator is going to be a legacy product in favour of InDesign, if it can't create tagged PDFs with Alt Tags for images. In this case, the Illustrator file is placed in InDesign, so even though InDesign can create tagged PDFs, the tagging doesn't work for placed Illustrator content. So it sounds like we either do the tagging from scratch in Acrobat, as you say, or we try to bring in the content directly into InDesign and tag it there.
If only Adobe wholeheartedly supported accessible documents so we could more easily use it to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards which are mandatory for our organisation. We are looking at CommonLook software to make the process of creating accessible PDFs easier and quicker. It's just hard to believe the lack of support from Adobe on this. Acrobat doesn't even come close to checking against WCAG 2AA and the online help is very hit and miss and full of broken links. For such an expensive product it's very disappointing, so thank goodness for other companies who see this as an opportunity to provide a better service.

Text disappearing in tagged PDFs

I recently upgraded to Acrobat Professional 9. When creating PDFs via "Convert to Adobe PDF" in Word with tagging enabled, I'm sometimes seeing text disappear in the conversion process so that whole lines are missing from the PDF.
Using the print dialog to print to PDF works fine and does not result in missing text. However I need tagged PDFs to meet high accessibility requirements, so should be converting from Word. Has anyone else encountered this problem? The version of Word I'm using is 2003.

Usually when this happens it is related to the printer reflow that WORD does. There is a setting in WORD to select to not use the printer metrics for sending information to the printer. The other solution relates to selecting the Adobe PDF printer before you finish your layout, but you have already said the printer works fine.

Tagged PDF to Word Document

I'm not sure this is in the right area for discussion.
I have a tagged PDF, the way it was generated was just compiling a bunch of images on various sheets and add comments with the acrobat tools.
I want to be able to convert this PDF with all tags to a word document. Is there a way to do this with how the PDF was originally set up?
Thanks!

I assume you have Acrobat. If so I recommend the Acrobat forums (there are a whole bunch of them, and one specifically about tagging). This is the forum for the CreatePDF web service (http://createpdf.adobe.com/) and probably doesn't have the experts you need.
