Using the Content tab
Use the Content tab to correct reflow problems in a PDF document that can't be corrected
by using the TouchUp Reading Order tool. Because you can damage a PDF document by
editing content objects, make sure that you're familiar with PDF structure before you
make any changes. For comprehensive information about PDF structure, download the
PDF Reference, Fifth Edition, from the Adobe partner website at http://partners.adobe.
com/links/acrobat (English only).
The Content tab provides a hierarchical view of the objects that make up a PDF document,
including the PDF document object itself. Each document includes one or more pages, a
set of annotations (such as comments and links), and the content objects for the page,
which consists of containers, text, paths, and images. Objects are listed in the order that
they appear on the page, similar to tags in the logical structure tree. However, your PDF
documents don't require tags for you to view or change the object structure.
To correct the reflow order of a PDF document in the Content tab:
1. Choose View > Navigation Tabs > Content, and then drag the Content tab from the
floating panel to the navigation pane (optional). Or, click the Content tab in the navigation
pane to display the logical structure tree.
2. Click the plus sign (+) (Windows) or the triangle (Mac OS) next to the document name to
view pages and objects.
3. Move a container or object by selecting it and doing one of the following:
● Drag it up or down to the location you want.
● Choose Cut from the Options menu, select the tag above the location where you want to
paste the copied tag, and choose Paste from the Options menu.
Container elements can't be pasted directly to page elements. To move a container
to another page, cut the container you want to move, select a container on the page you
want to move the container to, and choose Paste Child from the Options menu. Then, drag
the container out one level to the location that you want.
