How do I "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" in Word2008 for Mac? How do I keep links and TOCs

As Adobe PDF maker is not available for Word 2008 for a Mac, how do I duplicate the "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" feature from Word 2007 in Word 2008 for Mac? Specifically, I'm trying to create accessible PDFs with active links and TOCs that will reflow properly on any website or mobile device.

Mac Office 2004 with Acrobat 8 was the last Mac combination having PDFMaker.

If the Mac version of Windows Office 2007 has it you could try using the save as PDF XPS.
The default option for PDF output is tagged PDF (in Windows) so, if available, try it.
You will have to perform the "real" V&V" on the tagged PDF with Acrobat Pro.

Otherwise you'd have to do the complete job manually.


You may have to consider an alternative authoring application that has proper tag management support.


Regarding reflow on mobile devices. Keep in mind that PDF is "page" centric.
So, a standard letter/portrait PDF page could be awkard on the smaller screen of some devices.
