Removes the selected tag from its current location and puts it on the clipboard.



Paste

Places the tag that’s on the clipboard into the location specified, replacing the selected tag.

Find Tag From Selection

Searches for the tag in the Tags tab that contains the text or object selected in the document pane.



Create Tag From Selection

Creates a new tag in the logical structure tree after the item selected in the document pane. Specify type and title of the new tag.



Find

Searches for artifacts, OCR suspects, and unmarked (untagged) content, comments, links, and annotations. Options allow you to search the page or document and add tags to found items.



Change Tag To Artifact

Changes selected tags to artifacts and removes the tagged content from the structure tree.



Copy Contents To Clipboard

Copies all content contained within the selected tags.



Edit Class Map

Allows you to add, change, and delete the class map, or style dictionary, for the document. Class maps store attributes that are associated with each element.



Edit Role Map

Allows you to add, change, and delete role maps for the document. Role maps allow each document to contain a uniquely defined tag set. By mapping these custom tags to predefined tags in Acrobat, custom tags are easier to identify and edit.



Tag Annotations

When selected, all new comments and form fields are added to the tag tree after the selected tag element; existing comments and form fields aren’t added to the tag tree. Highlight and Underline comments are automatically associated and tagged with the text that they annotate and don’t require this option.



Document Is Tagged PDF

Flags the PDF as a tagged document. Deselect to remove the flag.

Important: This option doesn’t necessarily indicate that the PDF conforms to PDF guidelines and should be used judiciously.


Highlight Content

When selected, causes highlights to appear around content in the document pane when you select the related tag in the Tags tab.



Show Metadata

Opens a read-only dialog box that contains reference information about the selected tag.



Properties

Opens the TouchUp Properties dialog box.
