Accessible PDFs from

LibreOffice

LibreOffice Writer and Impress can export well-tagged PDFs — the key is one checkbox in the export dialog.

Before you export

  • Use paragraph styles for headings, real lists, and real tables.
  • Add alt text to images and set the document title and language.

Export a tagged PDF

  1. Choose File › Export As › Export as PDF.
  2. Enable “Universal Accessibility (PDF/UA)” — this automatically turns on tagged PDF.
  3. If PDF/UA isn’t available, enable “Tagged PDF” and “Export outlines” instead.
  4. Export, then verify — especially tables, images, and files that started life in Word or PowerPoint.

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.
