NEW: MadeToTag for InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 available!

axaio is proud to announce the official release of its Adobe InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 plugin for easy and fast preparation and export of tagged PDF files: axaio MadeToTag.

Why produce better tagged PDFs?

Tagged PDFs are essential for accessibility, so that screen reader devices for visually impaired people or reading software for users with learning disabilities can provide rich access to a PDF’s content. Tagged PDFs also enable screen reader software programs to offer easy navigation and accessible presentation of content in PDF files.

On top of that, PDF tags are an effective method to improve your company’s Search Engine Optimization. The tags in the PDF file follow concepts similar to those found in HTML. Properly used tags place websites higher in the search engine rankings.

Properly tagged PDF files have become very important for public administrations and enterprises. Legal requirements for physically impaired people and for accessibility in the information technology (such as described in the German BGG, BITV and EU mandate 376) impose that the public sector offers all content – webpages as well as PDF documents – in an accessible form. But also media service providers, representatives of associations and institutions as well as students and lecturers at colleges and unversities increasingly consider it their duty to have their written materials available as accessible documents. – Nothing simpler then that - with MadeToTag.

Tagged PDF in five steps!

MadeToTag features a user-interface that allows step-by-step guidance through tasks for creating accessible, tagged PDF files. This user-friendly concept offers a better overview of the necessary tasks and provides a higher level of control and security. In only five steps (tasks) tagged PDF files can be created from within Adobe InDesign CS5.5 or CS6:

  • Task 1: Define and review export tags
  • Task 2: Structure content into articles
  • Task 3: Display and edit alternate text
  • Task 4: Review document metadata
  • Task 5: Create tagged PDF
