How can I automatically add tags to a PDF document that does not have a tags tree in Adobe Acrobat?

In Adobe Acrobat, you can automatically add tags to a document that does not have a tags tree.

  1. Open your PDF file and click “Accessibility” in the menu on the right-hand side. (If it is not on the right-hand side, find it in the "Tool" menu, search for "Accessibility" tool, and select to open it.)
  2. Click “Autotag Document.”
  3. After that, click the “Tag” icon on the left-hand side to view or edit the tags.
Autotag document

Note 1: If it is scanned document, first use "Scan & OCR" tool, then "Autotag Document".
Note 2: The easiest and most effective approach is to first auto-tag the entire document, then manually adjust the tags as needed. Auto-tags often contain incorrect properties that require manual review and correction.
