MadeToTag
Accessible PDF directly from Adobe InDesign – PDF/UA compliant!
axaio MadeToTag is an Adobe InDesign plug-in to properly prepare InDesign documents for export as an accessible, tagged PDF file – fast and reliable. The exported PDF complies with the terms of the PDF/UA-STANDARD, the international PDF standard for universal accessibility – not to be generated with InDesign alone.
PDF/UA is particularly important for organisations that have to comply with legal requirements for accessible content (including BGG, BITV 2.0, EU Mandate 2016/2102-EN 301 549, Section 508 or WCAG). With the introduction of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in June 2025, all companies are now also obliged to implement digital accessibility in their business processes. The MadeToTag user interface is based on a SEVEN STEP GUIDE that guides the user safely and intuitively through the creation of a tagged PDF without the risk of missing an important step.
Based on tagged PDFs, screen readers for the visually impaired or screen reader software for people with learning disabilities, for example, are provided with the necessary information to enable comprehensive and logic access to the content of a PDF file. Tagged PDFs are therefore a prerequisite for PDF accessibility.

Fields of Application
Access to accessible content is particularly important in the public sector, but with the upcoming EAA it will also become a requirement for private companies. Legal regulations such as the Equality of Persons with Disabilities Act (BGG), the Accessibility in Information Technology Ordinance (BITV), the European Accessibility Act and EU Mandate 376s require that people with disabilities can consume content from websites and PDF documents without restrictions.
Media service providers, banks, insurance companies, teachers at colleges and universities as well as representatives of associations and institutions are obliged to ensure that informational content is accessible.
On top of that, PDF tags are an effective method to improve your company’s search engine optimization. The tags in the PDF file follow concepts similar to those found in HTML. Properly used tags place websites higher in the search engine rankings.
