package.

Summary description: Extract PDF tags from tagged PDF files
Announcement text:
The XML output from show-pdf-tags has been extended to show the AF relationship and media-type of associated files. This is a breaking change, generated XML will show this information. All associated files associated to Formula will have the same values added: so it should be easy to update any test suites testing for the original format. < AssociatedFile name="mathml-1.xml" xmlns="" > < AssociatedFile name="mathml-1.xml" relationship="Supplement" media-type="application/mathml+xml" xmlns="" > < AssociatedFile name="tag-AFfile2.tex" xmlns="" > < AssociatedFile name="tag-AFfile2.tex" relationship="Source" media-type="application/x-tex" xmlns="" > The Schema have been updated to allow for these attributes (and to check that MathML associated files have relationship Supplement). They also allow some modified strucure element names in the LaTeX namespace to match code in current and planned latex-dev releases. Some experimental support to generate PDF Association "Tag Tree Diagrams" using PlantUML is also provided as XSLT stylesheets transforming the XML output to PlantUML syntax.

Show-PDF-tags – Extract PDF tags from tagged PDF files
This package provides a tool to make the structure of tagged PDF files visible. It parses a PDF file and extracts most tagging related information to turn it into either a visual tree structure or an XML document representing the tags.
The package is released together with a collection of schemas which can be used to check that the resulting XML structure follows specified rules.
