To specify tags manually, do one of the following:
• Enable tagging in the application in which the PDF was authored, and re-create the PDF.
• Choose Tools > Accessibility > Autotag Document in Acrobat DC. The Add Tags Report appears in the navigation
pane if there are any issues. The report lists potential problems by page, provides a navigational link to each problem,
and provides suggestions for fixing them.
• Choose Tools > Accessibility > Reading Order in Acrobat DC, and create the tags tree. For more information, see
Touch Up Reading Order tool for PDFs (Acrobat Pro DC).
• Open the Tags panel and create the tags tree manually. To display the Tags panel, choose View > Show/Hide >
Navigation Panes > Tags. For more information, see Edit document structure with the Content and Tags panels
(Acrobat Pro).

Logical reading order
Verify this rule check manually. Make sure that the reading order displayed in the Tags panel coincides with the logical
reading order of the document.
Primary language
Setting the document language in a PDF enables some screen readers to switch to the appropriate language. This check
determines whether the primary text language for the PDF is specified. If the check fails, set the language.
To set the language automatically, select Primary Language in the Accessibility Checker tab, and then choose Fix from
the Options
menu. Choose a language in the Set Reading Language dialog box, and then click OK.
To set the language manually, do one of the following:
• Choose File > Properties > Advanced and then select a language from the drop-down list in the Reading Options
section. (If the language doesn't appear in the drop-down list, you can enter the ISO 639 code for the language in
the Language field.) This setting applies the primary language for the entire PDF.
• Set the language for all text in a subtree of the tags tree. Open the Tags panel. Expand the Tags root and select
an element. Then choose Properties from the Options menu. Choose a language from the Language drop-down
list. (To display the Tags panel, choose View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags.)
• Set the language for a block of text by selecting the text element or container element in the Content panel.
Then, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) the text and choose Properties from the context menu and
choose a language from the Language drop-down list. (To display the Content panel, choose View > Show/Hide >
Navigation Panes > Content.)
