tagged pdf: how to do it efficient? (ALD 12.3.1.0)
Good morning,
it is heavy task to shift our structured data into the restrictions of pdf/UA.
With the simple blue code most of it could be achieved by
<?pdftagstart "H1">Heading 1<?pdftagend "H1">
<?pdftagstart "P">Text Ceterum censeo<?pdftagend "P">
<?pdftagstart "P">Text Ceterum censeo<?pdftagend "P">
<?pdftagstart "P">Text Ceterum censeo<?pdftagend "P">
Even Artifact could be tagged easily.
Having Footnotes or even Endnotes is where the creation of pdf (ALD 12.3.1.0) get disrupted.
There could be different ways of tranfering text from a visual layer, like pdf was intitially, to the structured demands, which are imposed on us via pdf/UA.
My favourite would be to shift the tag of the Footnote (and even the Endnote) straight behind the Footnote-Reference in the structured text.
But how?
- by tags, like <Note> (and Reference),
- by <alttext> (or any kind of form) or
- by assets (in a subfolder with the plain footnotes/endnotes as a txt-file).
Any suggestions?
A few snippets of code would be appreciated by me (and the community).
Best regards,
Jean
PS: I had a deeper look into the help, the pdf-Files and some sample documents.
There is one file, PDF_Tagging_Sampler.3d, with the heading Footnotes on page 8, but just the heading and not a single footnote or hint how to tag footnotes.
