Is it possible to determine programatically whether a PDF is “tagged” (for accessibility)? I’m using PHP, and would like (if possible) to simply read a PDF file and return true if tagged, false if not.

I’ve looked at FPDF and TCPDF, but it isn’t clear to me whether either can extract this information.

    In the official ISO PDF-1.7 specification (in the copy available for free from the Adobe website), I read on page 574:

    “A Tagged PDF document shall also contain a mark information dictionary (see Table 321) with a value of true for the Marked entry.”

    To me that means…

    1. …you’ll have to parse the PDF structure and
    2. …look for the document catalogue
    3. …where there should be a MarkInfo entry
    4. …specifying a mark information dictionary
    5. …which should contain a key named Marked with a boolean value of true for tagged PDF.
