1. Re: Tag tab not editable
Anna Nmty Oct 26, 2009 8:58 PM (in response to CharlesBelov)Instead of using Find Tag by Selection, try highlighting the text with the Touch Up Text Tool.
Touch Up Text >> highlight text, right click >> Properties >> Tag tab >> Language.
This worked for me. They do need better instructions with this feature!

2. Re: Tag tab not editable
CharlesBelov Oct 27, 2009 10:55 AM (in response to Anna Nmty)Well, that was interesting. Your instructions work as you said. Unfortunately, it apparently messes up the document tagging.
Let's go back to the beginning. I have a document that was tagged by Adobe's Word Convert to Acrobat PDF macro. Here is the document and tags:
I run the accessibilty full check and get the message:
"All of the text on this page lacks a language specification."
I then follow your instructions to assign a language for the Chinese and Spanish text. I rerun the accessibilty full check and get that the language specification is missing for each of 5 paragraphs. Clicking each item turns out to refer to the 2 English lines and the 3 blank lines between each line (because each of the blank lines was created with the Enter key in Word).
So far so good. I then do File > Document > Advanced and set the default language to English. I run the accessibilty full check and get the message:
"None of the contents or annotations in this document are contained in the structure tree."
And the tags now appear as follows:
On the possibility that it was the assigning the default language to the document, I went back to the original PDF and just did your instructions. When I do "File > Save as" is when the document structure gets detached from the tags.
Oh, and it appears doing a save as is also what locks up the tags tab and grays it out. It happens with the touch up text tool just as it happens with the tag tool. Closing and reopening the document un-grays the tag panel for the touch up text tool.
Looks like I have a couple bugs to report.

It turns out that the bug I reported in my previous posting only holds while the file is still open. If I close and relaunch Acrobat and reopen the file, then the tags are fine and Acrobat reports no accessibility issues.
