Adobe Acrobat Pro Not Displaying Tags

You may have the experience where one person can view the PDF and see the tags in the Tag Tree but another person on a different computer will not see the same tags. Both users have the same versions of software and Windows.

Check the Tag Tree Context-Sensitive Pop-up Menu

Right-click a tag in the Tag Tree and look for the following option: Apply Role Mapping to Tags. Select the option to activate it. Right-click a Tag in the Tag Tree again and you will notice the option will have a check-mark next to it. The checkmark indicates the option is activated.

Four Friends of the Tag Tree

The PDF Tag Tree has four friends which should be activated. These friends assist with accessibility and usability.
