Hi,
we are trying to tag an untagged PDF programmatically (Java), but we have discovered that is not possible to create structure tags referring to existing text fragments and images.
For example, if we call .createParagraphElement().setText(“Hello World”) the ‘Hello World’ will be doubled in the out PDF as it’s already existing from the source PDF. It would be great to have a method .setText(List<>), in order to refer the tag to the existing texts. The same should apply also for IllustrationElement.setImage, in order to accept an existing XImage from the source PDF.
Would this extension be possible?
Thanks.
This needs to be investigated. Can you please share your sample share your sample PDF document along with the sample code snippet that you have been trying to use? We will log an investigation ticket as share the ID with you.
Hello, and thanks for your answer.
