NO-CODE PDF AUTO-TAGGING
4 ways to auto-tag PDFs in PDFix Desktop
Choose the method that fits your document type, volume and required quality.
1. Basic Auto-Tagging – fast results, no setup
Best for: one-off documents, fast spot checks
PDFix Desktop automatically identifies paragraphs, lists, images and tables. Review the result and correct where needed.
2. Auto-Tagging with Preflight – auto-generated template
Best for: better structure, improved accessibility quality
Preflight analyzes the PDF and automatically generates a layout template. Better quality than basic tagging with minimal setup.
3. AI-Generated Template – complex and specialized documents
Best for: complex layouts, legacy archives
External AI layout recognition models generate a template automatically. Apply the template and review. Handles unpredictable document structures.
4. Pre-Defined Layout Template – high-volume, recurring documents
Best for: invoices, reports, bank statements, standardized forms
Create a layout template in JSON once for your recurring document type. Import into PDFix and apply to thousands of files with guaranteed consistent output.
