Using the TouchUp Reading Order tool
You can view and adjust the reading order of a tagged PDF document by using the
TouchUp Reading Order tool. When selected, the TouchUp Reading Order tool opens a
dialog box that lets you display overlay highlights that show the order of page content.
Each highlighted region is numbered and highlighted with opaque gray or colored blocks;
the number indicates the region's placement in the page's reading order. After you check
the reading order of the page, you can correct other, more subtle tagging issues as needed.
(See Correcting tags.)
