Accessible PDFs from
LaTeX & Overleaf
The LaTeX tagged-PDF project makes accessible output possible. It needs a current toolchain and a few lines of setup.
Set up the document
- Add \DocumentMetadata{tagging=on, lang=en-US, pdfstandard=ua-2} before \documentclass.
- Use semantic structure: sectioning commands, real list environments, captions, and cross-references.
- Check that the packages you load are compatible with tagging.
Compile on Overleaf
- Open Menu › Settings › Compiler and select LuaLaTeX with TeX Live 2025.
- Recompile the project.
- Download the PDF and verify the tags — or upload it to the PDF checker below.
Then verify the result
Upload the exported PDF to our Tagged PDF Builder for an instant accessibility preflight — tags, alt text, and structure — and fix anything it flags.
