Confirmation Prompt for Auto-Tag Document and Right-Click Menu Improvements
Hi Team,
The Auto-Tag Document feature is highly valuable during the initial tagging phase, as it can generate a complete document structure in less than a minute.
However, our team primarily performs manual accessibility tagging to remediate PDF law reports. We manually tag more than 3,000 documents each month under tight SLAs. During this process, users frequently create page sections by right-clicking and selecting New Tag—often hundreds of times within a single document.
Issue
Because Auto-Tag Document appears close to New Tag in the right-click menu, users can accidentally select it while performing repetitive manual tagging work.
When this occurs:
The auto-tagging process may overwrite or disrupt the existing manual tag structure.
Even if the user cancels the operation, previously completed manual tagging work can be lost or rendered unusable.
The action cannot be reversed using Ctrl + Z.
This creates a significant risk of lost effort, rework, and missed SLA deadlines.
Requested Enhancements
We request the following improvements to Adobe Acrobat's Accessibility tagging workflow:
Add a confirmation dialog before Auto-Tag Document runs
Display a clear warning that auto-tagging may replace or affect existing manual tags.
Provide explicit Confirm and Cancel options.
Ideally, include an option such as:
"Do not show this message again" for users who intentionally use Auto-Tag Document.
Rework the right-click menu placement for Auto-Tag Document
Remove Auto-Tag Document from the right-click menu, as it is generally initiated from the Accessibility tools panel.
Alternatively, place it farther away from frequently used actions such as New Tag, or move it into a separate submenu or "Advanced Actions" section.
These changes would greatly improve usability and help prevent accidental loss of extensive manual accessibility remediation work.
Thank you for considering this enhancement.
